03-5-2010 - Contractions - update--- updated

My mood while writing this blog:
frustrated

As of Saturday May 1 at 11:29 am the contractions started... I have had them ever since. When I say started I am not talking how they were "one or two a day" but like 4-6 an hour... I am so tired of them.

The dr's told me to not worry about them till I have more the 6 per hour, but to keep track of them and my symptoms (cramping, pain, length of contraction etc). Timing and recording these things is becoming stressful in its self.

Every time I get up from the chair or bed to go to kitchen or bathroom my tummy hurts it is so tight like I feel like I need to hunch over when i walk lol.

I have a question for you ladies, when your babies dropped did your fundal height measure smaller ... like I am 32 weeks and I am measuring between 28-30 weeks on my fundal height but Tanner is measuring 6 days ahead by ultrasound.....

Also can contractions put stress on the baby and how long can you have contractions like this before going into labor? I am on 5 mg of terbutaline every 6 hours and it is still not touching them.

Thank you so much for listening to my whining lol and for all the thoughts and prayers!

GL to all you lovely wonderful ladies!

****UPDATE****
(forgot to mention this)
I called my dr. at 9am this morning and told him about the contractions and they upped my mg. of the terbutaline to 5mg every 6 hours I was on 2.5 mg every six hours it has helped a little but not much.

i'm soo sorry this is all still going on, i'm kinda surprised that your dr wont admit you as well. i wish i could give you advise on contractions, i never went into labor on my own. i was induced at 38 weeks due to very very very low amnio fluid. has your dr told you anything about the babys position??? is he really low pressing on your cevix??

I agree, I think its strange he is not either admitting you for the next 2-4 weeks until its a little bettery for delivery or he isnt having you come to the office to make sure you arent dilating anymore. Honestly, if I were in your shoes I would ask him why he hasnt checked to find out if you are dilating more.

That is usually how they tell you have dropped, your fundal height will drop from one visit to the next. It's because the baby's head has dropped behind your pubic bone, so they take up less room in your belly.

yes with my first i was 37 weeks and i think i measured 34weeks when he'd dropped! :] i think thats wierd your doc is only having you keep an eye on your contractions?.. has she/he checked you or anything! i hope they ease up for you!!
