T&P for me please.

[Joyto5]

Went into my Midwife yesterday for my Prenatal. While the assistant was listening to Katies HB, I had a dooozy of a contraction. I had mention to her that I had been having some back pain that wrapped around to my front earlier. I'm glad she was able to be there first hand. I stayed in the office while she went to the Health food store to pick up some herbs that should help calm them. I stayed in the office another hour after taking them to make sure they worked.

So far, so good. Have to take them 3 times a day and they are VIAL, but I would drink a gallon of them if it will help stay off Preterm Labor. With DH working out of town most of the week for the next 5 weeks I'm going to need all the help I can get. I pray they help the entire pregnancy so I can continue with my normal routine. Right now, Laundry, meals and the 2 youngest are my top priority. Everything else, the kids and DH will have to take care of till I can go 4-5 days straight without a contraction.

Thinking of you.

:cry: Just had another contraction. Been sitting down for 10 min and have had 2! I know I did a little to much today but please!! I can't stay flat on my back, not with DH out of town! Off to take a hot bath. See if I can wind things down some. I have this feeling that bed rest is in my near future....

(((hug))) I hope it kicks in and it helps.

Do you have anyone that can come over for the next couple of days and just let you take it as easy as possible? Maybe order in food instead of having to be up cooking?

T&P sent out for you babe. Stay put little Katie!

How are you feeling today? If I was closer to you and had a car during the day I would come and help you out. Have you talked to your RS president about maybe getting some help with the little ones during the day so you can rest? Their is a sister in my ward who is suffering from really bad morning sickness and has some of the sisters come in and help her clean and take care of her 2 kids ages 2 and 1. I hope you feel better soon. Get some rest. Stay put Katie it's not time to see the big wide world just yet.

Good luck! I hope you can get those contractions to slow down or stop.

I am feeling okay today. I'm taking the herbs every 3 hours now. As long as I don't do to much to fast everything seems to be slowing down. I was able to go out and decorate the back of our suburban for Trunk-or-treating, for tomorrow night. After lunch I've been on the internet while the 2 youngest watch Halloween cartoons. It's a nice relaxing day, even if the laundry is screaming at me to fold it. I'll save that for the kids to help with after they get their homework done.

Thanks for all the T&P. I've been talking with Katie alot asking her to hold off for 14 more weeks.

Emptying the bladder, drinking lots of fluids and rest can help slow down a preterm labour as well. Stay positive ;)
