I'm pleased you've had something to eat xx

I'm another who went through 8 weeks similar to what you are now (with DS2) at 26 weeks it all started. I spent one week in hospital and a further 7.5 weeks at home on strict bed rest. It's definitely not easy, but oh so worth it.

[black_rose]

I am another one who went through it for two weeks with dd2 and 5.5 with Ds. So vent away we know how you are feeling. Being in labour for so long is not an easy thing to go through.

[crumpet]

ive been reading along and am stunned by some of the treatment you have recieved!

's i hope everything settles down and you get some answers soon...

i too, am another who had spent more time on bed rest than i care to remember...
with DD's pregnancy i was on "light" bed rest from my BRP till 15weeks when i had a cervical stitch done and then from 15-20weeks it kicked up a notch and then from 20weeks full bed rest till about 35weeks.... mind u i didnt always obey those orders, any of the jan11 belly buddies could tell you about that BUT my point is like the other girls who have done bed rest stints i under stand how frustrsting it it but you just have to hang in there a bit longer and those gorgous boys will be here, happy and healthy...

keep ur chin up hun, your on the home stretch now

Thanks girls I really don't know what I'd do without you I think I'd be curled up in a ball rocking back and forth between contractions! Be back to add more drs here

What did the Dr say?

[Rainbow_Mumma]

They aren't concerned with the babies at the moment number 1 priority has moved to working out why my heart rate at resting is around 140 which is causing all sorts if issues so just had another blood test that makes my needle count 16 since Tuesday I'm officially a pin cushion lol
So yeah as nothing has progressed babywise today it's all stayed the same main focus is helping me

thats how labour started for me, period pains, then i got regular contractions. soi guess part of my pre-labour.

glad you have stuff to do in there!

[Mum2twoBoys]

i think that is the best thing about bb, we can all share our stories and know that we are not alone. everyone here is so supportive and it is nice knowing that we can all depend on each other.

glad things are getting sorted now, it is such a relief to know what is going on. wishing you all the best. hopefully things will work out so the twins can cook a bit longer and be healthier babies when they arrive for you. xo

I had a lot of period pain before all three labours, had no idea it was the real deal with dd1 but it meant I knew the warning signs with dd2 and Ds when it started at 35 and 34 weeks with them, ended up in hospital a few hours later as the contractions hit.

[DANNIIM]

Thats how my labour started with both my boys too!! Both times woke me up smack bang on 4am.
