Painful contractions

[CatSoup]

I started having very painful contractions. This happened last time I was pg too. I was very stressed and started having progressive contractions by 7 months.
Here's the question: I still have some procardia left over from my last pg. Should I take some or should I wait to talk to the Dr in the morning?

[CatSoup]

I guess the real question is, would it hurt to take one? I'm just leery of taking anything without talking to him.

If I were you, I wouldn't take it without the doctor telling me to do so.

I personally probably wouldn't take it at all unless I was super bad. I had some strong contractions for quite some time before ds was born. I had them really bad when I was driving home during rush hour traffic, especially the day it took me 3 hours to make a 45-mile trip home.

I'm starting to get worried actually. I don't want to go to the ER , but I don't want to have a miscarriage. I'm sure I'm worried over nothing,but I really don't know when it's a danger.

How often are you having them?

Make sure to lay on your left side and drink LOTS of water, it always helped me to take a warm bath.

Please trust your mommy instincts, if your worried go to the ER, take care of yourself and baby Cole.

Well I guess I'd get myself a big glass of water drink and lay down for a little while. Start timing too. If you are scared go in. you know your body best. trust yourself. There is nothing wrong with having someone check you.

I would not take anything as it could mask what it going on.

Also you might call the hospital/dr/midwife explain what is going on and see what they think.

I'll be thinking about you. Good luck.

I agree with MoonBound.

[Earthmama]

Me too. I hope all is well. You've been under a lot of stress. That can cause problems in and of itself. :hug:

I would get a nice glass of something to drink, pop a dvd in for the kids and hand them a snack and something to drink and then you go relax in a nice warm, but not hot bath. that helped a ton with my painfull bh contractions. I would take a watch or something in with you, and if the warm water does not calm things down and the contractions stay painfull, get closer together or more painfull, I would head into the er.

you have been under a huge amount of stress and that could be whats causing this.

[CatSoup]

I ended up going ahead and taking a procardia. They stopped after that and I was able to get some sleep. I just hope this isn't the start of many more months of bh and progressive contractions! Rrrgh!

[Bohemian]

I'm glad they stopped.

Call your DR and let them know about this episode and see if you can get your appointment date pushed up.

[MoonBound]

I agree with MissionaryMomma!!

[BoobySnacks]

It is good that they went away, but I would get an appointment right away to make sure all is well and to document the episode.
