am due on the 2nd of feb 08 so am currently 32 weeks.
on friday (7th dec) i started having contractions (thankfully they stop on their own) but was having them all day was taken into hospital and stuck on the monitor for over 3 hours
-am i the only one who hates these??? being stuck in a very uncomfortable position for hours not being able to move????-
an internal examination showed no signs of 'show' or opening within the cervix (have had 3 other children so am open a little which is normal).

However having had 2 premature babies before, eldest was born at 32 weeks and middle one at 36 weeks, I am prone to them.

I have had a rough pregnancy this time round and as much as i want to go full term my body is screaming at me enough is enough. I have spoken to my midwife and consultant til am blue in the face and am not getting straight answers from them...have had the steriod injections to help strengthen babies lungs so if worst case scenario does happen he has best possible start (am having a boy)

I have been in this situation before as have said but it never gets easier and my stress lvl's are at there highest and am really depressed over everything.......
Maybe am over reacting but right now i don't know which way is up

Can anyone offer any advise? i have no family and my in laws well lets not go there eh!! lol

I just feel so alone (DH is a diamond and is being very supportive but i cant keep offloading on him as he has his own anxietites and no1 to talk to)

Hi leggylil,
Can't give you any advice, I'm afraid, as I'm a first timer (though also due in Feb).

Come on over to the Feb ante-natal club - maybe there's someone there who'll be able to help:

All best wishes,

Aw,Leggy, so sorry to hear this. I am 32 weeks too. I really hope that you and your db are ok and that whenever he does arrive, he is in good health. Am not surprised you are finding it hard. Please come and talk to us on the "due in Feb" thread. There are some people on there who are facing early arrivals so you won't be alone!!!
