Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 , I am always watching for updates from you. I am so happy that you have such a good peri but very sad that this pregnancy has been so difficult. Hang in there and try to ignore the people who make comments. Until people have been where you are now, they just won't understand. Also I think for some weird reason pregnant women in general are targets for horror stories. I know I sure heard enough of them. The best cure for their comments will be to show them your healthy daughter. I am feeling better. I went back to work today but am taking tomorrow off because walking still makes that one incision that was infected feel like it is pulling apart. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Roxie, Thank you! Can you take any frugs to dull the pain? Will they make you sleep at work? Ha, ha. That would make the day move quickly! What day are you going back? roxanndianna1 wrote: ,I am always watching for updates from you.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Gosh, . You sure are experiencing everything in this pregnancy. Contractions already?! But, as always, you sound positive which I believe helps not just psychologically but physically as well. Hang in there! Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Hi . I agree-a peri. is very important and they make sure they cover 'all of the bases' to avoid potential problems. I also had pre-term labor/contractions at 26 weeks. I just thought I had a backache and was told to come in(to the hospital). Sure enough...labor. I also tested positive on the fetal-fibronectin test (tells if a protein is being produced which occurs about 2 weeks prior to delivery). Was on terbutaline from then on until 36 weeks. Hopefully you wont have to take it. You have to take it every 4 hours(usually), therefore; waking during the night. It also makes you quite restless and raises your heart rate--which makes bedrest a bitch. BUT...it does do the trick! I could tell when I'd be late on one pill--I'd feel lots of abdominal tightening. Your in good hands--they'll keep a close eye on your cervix from here on in. Best of luck to you!! cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Cheryl, Thank you! I am on the monitor twice daily. If I need terb, it will be from a pump. My doctor almost never uses pills unless you are already to 35 weeks. I hope I pass the fetal fibronectin test. I have it on Tuesday. I could not take it last week, because I already had the tv u/s. I am glad to hear if I fail the test, that there is hope! Ijust hpope I can avoind mag. He said he always does tred first. I had one of his ex labor and delivery nurses at my house, and she explained all this. Thanks again Cheryl! Always nice to hear people who made it to the other side! cherylplante wrote: Hi .
