Preterm Labor Scare

It's been quite crazy around here the last few days. Things started going wring on Thursday when I began having way too many Braxton Hicks contractions and my OB sent me to Labor and Delivery. There I was given Procardia, which did not work, and then indomethacin, which did. I was sent home on bed rest and the weekend went smoothly.

Then yesterday the contractions got bad again and again I had to go to L&D for monitoring. Thankfully it seems that I just have an "irritable uterus" as my cervix is not changing, and I have no other labor symptoms. They also did a fetal fibronectin test (fFN) which came back negative, meaning I have a <1% chance of delivering in the next two weeks. Thank goodness.

So for now I am on bed rest "until further notice".
