Pregnancy after m/c....POWER to the Beanies!!!!

Oinker and for you mate. hope you're doing ok. Knew you'd have a positive outcome in some way.

well what an eventful day! Have been having contractions every 5 mins since last night, not painful just annoying, uncomfortable tightenings. thought nothing of it, apart from a little concerned that they were so regular. so i called the hosp this afternoon, thinking they'd say "monitor it for a few hours" or " its braxton hicks" but no, they said you really should come in now!, bring your notes and your bags. So off i went DH was 2 hours away so he jumped in the car and zoomed down the M6.
I got to hospital, was plugged into a monitor, did the usual checks, contractions were coming regularly every 5 mins. Baby was not distressed and i was told i was far too calm to be in labour. did an internal, cervix closed, not dilating. So after 2 hours i was sent home with mild contractions, doctor said it was braxton hicks, but to keep an eye on it and carry on as normal.
What a nightmare. Hope we don't have 6 wks of this, although i am very pleased that baby is staying put for now.

phew worn out now.

Hope everyone else has had a much easier day
