hi all, even though i don't write as frequently as most of you on this forum I really do appreciate your input always!
on friday afternoon I started having really strong braxton hicks contractions... at first at 15 min. intervals then all of a sudden every 5 min. we went to the hospital where they hooked me up to a monitor and to my great surprise I was contracting every 3-5 min.!!!!!!! I am 33 weeks prego and i freaked out ... they gave me 2 shots to stop the contractions and after they spaced out sent me back home... the doc put me on complete bedrest . I am so confused since first of all i didn't experience any of this with my daughter (she was 2 days late!) and not to mention that there is so much i still have to do ... I'm so not ready yet and now i'm stuck in bed!
Anybody went through something similar? ↓
