Exciting OB Appt.

UGAmomof2 posted:
Well...........I had my OB appt today. I've been having TONS of pelvic pressure and contractions this past week. As soon as I got there they checked my BP, I normally ask what it is, but since it has been great in the past, I didn't. Next they hook me up to have the NST test and off we go. Right away, I noticed I was contracting. Madi Grace was fine, but the contractions kept coming. I had one after another. Not big painful ones, but they were VERY noticable. The nurse came in and noticed that I was having them on the machine, so she went and got the OB.

Today I didn't see my regular OB because he wasn't available, but I really like the one I did get to see today. He came in and ask could I feel the contractions and I'm like yeah, everyday along w/tons of ECP. He then said that my BP was elevated 140/98 (mine is usually 110/60) which could def. be because I am in pain. He stated that at this point I'm almost 35 wks so if I do go in labor they will not stop it. He didn't want to check me and just said, "Maybe you'll make it to next week". I looked at him and said only next week? He just said yes, at this point we will not stop you and your having some pretty consistent contractions. I'm realistic and know that, yes it could be next week, but it could be several weeks.

UGH......well, we know she's coming eventually...lol. I only gained a pound this last week. So, if I make it to Friday w/the Peri, then they'll do another weight estimate. Will be interesting to see. I feel like I will go early....just a feeling though.

Tons of hugs and prayers to all!!!!

Wow Nicki! What an exciting appointment. I'm glad to hear that Madi is doing well, but I hope that she hangs in there a little longer. Take it easy and try to relax. At least you know that if you do go early that they won't stop you. Best wishes and (((big hugs))).

Yay good appointment! I go for my 36 week check up Friday morning and I am hoping I am dilating cause OMG ECP doesn't describe what this child is doing to me.

Also my OB said the same thing let the contractions happen and if I do go into labor they wouldn't stop it.

Wow Nicki, all sorts of stuff happening! Overall, things seem to be going well, and maybe she will be a July baby, YIKES!

Hang in there and just keep doing what you can. Hopefully the contractions slow down......

Keep us posted, lots of prayers to you! What is ECP? I am having a total brain fart and can't think of what it stands for, I am sure I will feel stupid when I learn it!

Nicki our little ones are way to much alike. I went in today and I am dialated to 1 cm so I am now on bed rest for the next week and taking tributiline every four hours to try and stop the contractions. Where I live they would not let me deliver in my local hospital, I would have to go 4 hours away to a neonatal place so they are trying to get me to make it to at least next week and are gonna try to make it two. So I guess both our 8/18 babies are gonna try to be 7/18 babies Good luck hon and keep us updated!!!!

Hey Tina.....what's up w/our little ladies...lol? I am kinda upset that the OB wouldn't check me. I don't understand it. I'm not on bedrest so what if I am contracting and dilating?? I've got a call in. Totally frustrated.

How close or consistent were your contrax? Praying you are doing great!!! Keep me updated also!!

the contractions come and go, and my dr thinks that I am having some that I am not feeling. My dr checks me every week. Has since the contractions started at 28 weeks. I have been losing pieces of my mucas plug since then also. Yesterday was horrible. My first day of down time and I was still having them off and on and lost lots of mucus. I have a call into my dr now to see if there is anything else I can do. These pills make me feel horrible ;( I think that my dr is being over cautious because of the threat of having to go 4 hours if I go into labor right now. As it is the hospital and her office is a 45 minute drive from where I live. Keep me updated on Maddison and I will let you know how Alesia is doing. Wouldnt shock me if these two girls grow uup to have lots of identical traits
