The magnesium stuff sounds terrible...major hugs for all the mamas that have gone through that!! They gave me the terbutalin at 25 weeks when I went into PTL. It was like a huge caffine overload. It made me feel very, very jittery and panicky.

Sounds like a lot of us are having PTL issues/questions...here's some positive vibes for all the February babies staying put!

take a bath with 2 cups of epson salts desolved in it. submerge yourself up to your neck and soak until the water cools off. do this a few times a day if needed.

also, a 1/2 a glass of red wine can tell you if the contactions are "real" or not. if you drink it and they taper off what you were likely feeling was BH cx. if they don't stop you should call your MWs.

be sure you are eating at least 75 grams go protein a day and at least 64 ounces of fluid. it's really easy to get dehydrated in in the winter, and this is the most common cause of contrations. UTIs are also a common cause.

OMG you have no idea what I would do for a tub that I could fit into submerged up to my neck! I am a tub person and the tub in this house is so tiny that I can barely fit in it sitting down.
Anyway so THAT's the red wine thing...ok. Thanks Honeybee. Good info.
