Two weeks ago (at 27 weeks) I started having contractions which were 3 mintues apart. I went straight to hospital and they hooked me up to the monitors and confirmed that I was having contractions. After different meds they eventually were able to slow them down. Given that they started suddenly my ob said that it was more than likely an irritable uterus and not pre-term labour however he said that the contractions will continue now until bubs is born.

I was given steriods as a precaution and am now on bed rest. I am still getting contractions every now and then but lying down seems to ease them and I also have meds at home to help. I had a scan yesterday and my cervix is still long and closed.

Has anyone else had this and how far did you go in your pregnancy? What could you do or not do? Any help would be great!
