Thank you for all of the well wishes. I went in to my doctor yesterday, and it turns out the contractions I'd been having were coming every 3 minutes or so. Although the contractions weren't causing me to go into labor, their frequency was enough to concern my doctor. She put me on terbutaline which got my contractions under control last night, so I got to come home today. Now I'm just taking it easy, taking more medicine as I need it, and seeing the doctor every week. Overall I'm doing fine (happy to be home) and the baby's doing fine as well.

I also glad the doctors took the contractions seriously, even if you weren't starting to dilate.
Try to relax and know there are many praying for you. :)

Posted by: Phyllis at October 25, 2004 11:52 AMI am glad that you are now home and doing well. I know this had to be a very scarey experience.
When I was younger and having my children I had the very same type of thing happening with each of my pregnancies.
Now my oldest daughter is expecting another baby... and she has started the same thing with early contractions. I have been so worried all week.
These new meds are great along with bed rest. Today these meds make a huge difference and wish they had these over 25 years ago. What a blessing to have such progress in modern medicine today.
I will keep you, your family and the baby in our thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS)))
