So Ladies,
I am officially in labour, but not in active labour. Having contractions all day went to hospital and was told that there was no dialating or anything but my contractions are regular and that I was technically pre-term labour. Now I am waiting for the other things to get going so I can get this baby out :S

he just says until the contractions are non existant or a lot less than they were, and he said when that happens we will talk. my husband doesnt want me to go back to work because, i'm still having contractions they are just a lot less than they were(not enough to go to the hospital) but they are a lot stronger they last a lot longer, and he thinks if i go back to work it will make them even stronger and more frequent and put me into full on labor. i hope not, but it is up to the doc. i havent gone stir crazy yet.lol! but i'm running out of stuff to do, so we will see. thankyou guys.

Hopefully baby stays to cook for a bit longer until you are at least 36 weeks. At about 34 weeks I went to the hospital 4 times in one week!! Annoying. I am now 37 weeks and 3cm dilated, but not really having contractions. Good luck!

@Laura... I hope you keep your sanity! I have a 2 1/2 year old who wants me to play all the time and I am so upset at having to say no all the time. Good Luck with the bed rest!
p.s. How long are they asking you to go? My dr wants a week and a half. I imagine they want you to go longer than that...

Me too, i am 30 weeks now, last week i had to go to the hospital 3 times, for real contractions and they had to give me tributalean 3 times to stop them, now i am on bed rest i am allowed to walk around for an hour or two a day but thats it. i have been on bed rest now for 4 days now, i am still having contractions just not as much only 3 or 4 at the most in an hour but they are harder and last longer for like a minute instead of 20-30 seconds, i am having a lot more braxton hicks contractions than i did before though, but those ones dont matter as much. so we will see what happens, i dont want her to come out yet, but it is God's will what happens. Good Luck!
