Cervical Incompetance or just Labour?

When I was 23 weeks pregnant I went into pre term labour with my DS. Thankfully my Dr stopped the labour and I went on to have him at 42 weeks.

I asked for answers why and she didn't have any other than to slow down and take it a little easier. I had been travelling alot with work and doing 12 hour days.

I was careful with pregnancy number 2 and had Paisley at 41 weeks.

Sorry I don't have any answers for you. Just my experience.

Thanks for posting Kris, wow I cannot believe how long you sat after going into prem labour. What did your dr do?
after my mc I thought I was taking it easier this time, maybe I wasn't. I did do a lot of extra shifts but wasn't doing any lifting or moving around too much etc. I know nothing will turn back the clock but I just don't know what I can do differently for next time

I had those horrid steriod injections for the baby's lungs and the oral medication to stop the labour (can't remember what this was) My dr monitored me very closely and gave me an U/S in her office every visit.
On her advice I cut back my hours at work to 10-4. Stopped the travelling totally and prayed that he would hang on.
My Dad passed away 2 weeks before my pre term labour so I believe he was looking after us.

Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason why things happen.
