  • Id like to know what MAG is too? Is your cervix thinning or shortenig too? Or are you dialated at all? Im almost 30 weeks & when I went in to the doc last week they did a non stress test, for other reasons, but told me I was having contractions, like 5 in 20 minutes. So they checked my cervix & it was fine, but they are having me go back in for an ultrasound to measure my cervix. She said I shouldn't be contracting that much but that as long as my cervix hasn't changed it will be ok. Im just wondering what's going to happen.
  • Oh & what kind of contractions? Like your stomach tightening or are they painful or what? Sorry im just curious & this is my first pregnancy & they tell me to come back in right away if they get 'worse', but I don't really know what 'worse' is lol.
  • @Jamie77 @I_anaya @ashleywiini16 I got the steroids 4 weeks ago. Been in hosp for over 4 weeks. Cervix has been thinned and dilated all this time. Baby is fine. Mag is short for Magnesium Sulfate. A med used to relax your uterus.
  • Ashley this is my first too. Never in my life had a menstrual cramp. Started having low back pain yesterday. That what happens when I start period. Contractions feel like a tightening in your abdomen. Sometimes I feel them and sometimes I don't. These im having do not hurt.
  • Wow... im sorry that must be no fun. Well im glad baby is ok! Hope she hangs in there a bit longer! Its crazy because I get that tightening in.my stomach very very often but didn't think anything of it, but when the docs noticed it now they are concerned. But I am not thinned or dialated so im ok. I hope I don't start thinning or dialating anytime soon. Well good luck to you, keep us updated :)
  • Keep that baby in there!! Hope the mag works. At least a few more weeks!!
  • Thank God u already had the steroid. She seems like she wants to come meet momma. Hopefully she will hold off longer.
  • Thank you guys for the prayers. Contractions have slowed down some. We are hanging on.
  • Im sending the best wishes to you, hoping you hit you 34 week mark but youv come such a long way. Babygirls super eager to start her life!
