I actually went in twice. The first time the contractions were uncomfortable but quite regular so I was given steroids for babies lungs and flown to Perth to King Edward Hospital. After they managed to stop contractions using Nifedipine, I was discharged and I had to stay in the metro area. Exactly a later I went in again and these contractions really knocked me around. They were coming every 3-5 mins and really really hurt. Both bubs were fine and again my waters stayed intact and we managed to stop labour.
Since then I have been fine just a bit of tightening every now and then. Nothing serious though. I am aiming at 34 weeks and every week thereafter is a bonus!!!
If your tightening gets any worse or regular, definately go in. Your doctor would encourage you to.
Vanita, I am dreading my waters breaking. I just want to go in at 36 wks and have them, I dont want any drama. Its too hard emotionally. When I thought they were coming at 27 wks I nearly died. It was awful.
