Update

[CaliMommie]

Hi all! I just wanted to pop in and give a quick update. Mymidwife came over for a home visit yesterday, since I have been having contractions since Saturday & fluids and rest weren't helping. Baby's heartrate sounds good, but I am already 1 cm dilated & my cervix is short but firm. So I am now on modified bedrest...with three kids...should be interesting. I'm taking skullcap, cramp bark, hops & black haw root every 2 hours, which helps a bit. If anyone wants to reach me I am able to check in on the facebook group from my cell.

[StrongFeather]

[ChaoticMum]

I hope things settle down more while on bedrest.....oh, girl! With three kids....GOod luck!

[Katica]

I`m glad your baby is well.
Oh, it must be hard to be on bedrest with 3 kids. Do you have help? Will someone come over to help you cook/clean/help with your children?

[CaliMommie]

They are going to my xh's tonight, but he works during the day, so I'll have them. My mom said she can come up next week a couple of afternoons, but no-one else really.

Oh, I feel awful for you! Really cannot imagine bedrest, modified or otherwise, with my 3 kids

Do the best you can and accept help from anyone who offers- hang in there, Mama!!

Sounds like a challenge!

Hang in there!

[hipmummy]

Best wishes!!! Hope all is well! Get lots of rest while you can..

Here's hoping it's just an irritable uterus and doesn't lead to preterm labor! It's not uncommon to be dilated and/or effaced with having had several babies already

[guestmama9922]

hang in there. And stay in there baby!!

Hey girl, I had "irritable uterus" with all three of my kids (and now it is starting up with this one), and never had a pre-term labor (although it WAS super-uncomfy the whole time). Here's wishing you an uneventful 3rd trimester and lots of helpers!!!!!

[CaliMommie]

Had a u's done a week ago & my cervix was .5 cm shorter than it had been 2 weeks before that, So moderate bedrest until my next appt. on July 7th.

[KayleeZoo]

Darnit! Sorry Amy Hang in there

[octobermoon]

how's it going? the bed rest i mean? you doing OK?

[CaliMommie]

Hi everyone! I am doing ok. I had a bit of spotting a few days ago, but after a fetal fibronectin test have been allowed to stay on modified bedrest, rather than full bedrest. I am 29 weeks tomorrow, so I'm feeling optimistic, though a bit stir crazy!
