Wow that must have been scary as hell! Glad all is ok now though, and you got through it ok! xxx

How far thinned and dialated were you? What was the result of your swab test? If the contractions were dying, you werent in pre-term labor. If you would have been they would have taken you to the maternity ward as soon as you arrived at the hospital. Did they do as ultrasound to check fluid levels, etc.?

Why is it you a__sume anyone here cares? After everything you've said and everything you've done, no one cares. No one. You just post to get pity and attention and it's pathetic. You should go back to whatever gutter you crawled out of.

Very true.

thanks apple tree yes it was very scary to be told that i was in labour! just have to take it easy from now on........they said it must of been quite a fall to set of contractions for 4 hours but eveything thing seems fine now i just have to have a midwifd appointment once a fornight instead of every 4weeks so she can check im not dialating ect so fingers crossed she,l stay in there at least another 14weeks until i reach full term

Hey guys eventhough that is the first thing that crossed my mind. lets not sink to her level. i am happy to hear that everything went okay, and that in the end could stop the contractions. if we aren't happt that a___l is okay lets be grateful her baby is okay.

yes Db of course we're thankful the baby is ok. My point was a fall or trauma can set off contrctions but it does not mean you are in labor. I went through actual pre-term labor and faced the fact that my baby may die. I HATE when people experience a few hours of contractions are are like "oh i was in labor." I dont believe a bit that an actual medically educated person told her she was in labor.

I was in pre term labor on x mas eve with Dante and they said it WAS labor, they never admitted me they kept me in triage for 6 hours trying to get the contractions to stop, they had no rooms available for me to be admitted and the eventually got the contractions to stop...When I was 5 my mother was 9 months pregnant due for a c sec in ecactly a week, the baby was large so she was having a schedualed c-section. We got into a car accident and labor started she was taken by ambulance to the hospital and she was IN LABOR, they gave her medication to stop contractions and that only weakened them. Her dr was out of town til the next day so they sent her home because again no room and no dr. they required her dr to be there because she was suppose to be a c sec.... she came home and slept all day, and i will never forget her waking up in the morning as my father was about to take us to school, and her saying "phil leave the kids we need to get to the hospital" he asked why and she said she had a horrible dream" he said are you having contractions?" she said "No, i just had a horrible dream and now i have a bad feeling" we rushed her to the hospital and the baby had no heart beat. They delivered a full term baby that had the cord wrapped around his neck 4 times. less the a week later we burried my little brother on what was suppose to be his birth day.......My point is doctors are only human and usually too stupid to do the job they do. if they would have done an u/s on my mother they would have seen the events that were about to occur, but they didnt because her doctor wasnt there, they didnt have a room, and they were willing to risk it because she was full term. everytime i go to california I visit that grave and still always brings tears to my eyes.....some are happy tears as horrible as it may sound because I know if that wouldnt have happened I wouldnt have my little brother that i have now, he was born a year and 2 months later.....I just feel for situations like this and just like when kendra was on here claiming to have all those miscarriages, it was hard to believe but im not going to gamble with somones feelings when they are gping through a hard time unless there is hard core proof

ok newbaby you are right my doctor was wrong.whatever really i dont care what you think i know what i went through! because yes they just give drugs to people who are not in labour! and sorry but i did have to go through thinking my baby may die! i am 23 weeks there was a chance she was going to be born! she would of had little chance!! and b4 you bark at me no i didnt have the drugs as the contractions stopped by them selves! (yes that does happen) it does not mean i was not in labour i dont wish for your i,ve been through more than me. im not interested in your comments! i have bigger worries. they do not offer drugs to stop labour to people who are not in labour!! i dont care if you experiaced it longer than me was more dialiated than me whatever it does not mean my baby was not in risk of being born and thats all i care about! db thanks for not being like nb.i know you dont like me but when something like that happens you need to get it off your chest and its all you care about so im not bothered about the immature comments nb or anyone makes it makes you think differently after something like that happens. db sorry about what happened! i was really angry that that they wouldnt admit to the ward where people give borth until myu contractions had stopped.hospitals here are so rubbish sometimes they said because there was no bleeding and i felt moveent i would be fine! until they realized i was was actually in labour! i think they thought they were braxton hicks but then they used one of those monitor things i dotn know what it is but it was messuring contractions and they were more regular than BH and lasted for more than an hour! they were the scariest 5hours of my life! im sorry about your sibling an dim glad you have some understanding that just because someones is dialted ect but still having contractions it doesnt mean they are not in labour and does not mean they dont fear for there babys life more or less than someone who is slighlty dialated or thinned.again sorry about what happened

aw Db im sorry to hear about your brother. I dont know if you.ve told that story on here before but its the firat time ive read it. As for Angel, im not buying it. She couldnt even answer any of my questions. The facts just dont add up.

I dont know that i have told that story on here before. and really not to be cold hearted but there isnt much to be sorry for some things happen for a reason and like i said i wouldnt have my now 16 year old brother if that didnt happen, i was 5 or 6 when it happened so of course i was sheltered from alot of it, but i have the pictures of him when he was born and at his funeral and those pictures i dont even look at because having kids of my own they make me ball but i dont even need to look at them, because they will be forever implanted in my head. there is nothing more sad then looking at pictures of a baby or child that has pa__sed.

Angel- If you where in "labour:" at 23 weeks then they would tell you that you are at a much higher risk now for preterm labour (since you have already begun to have it but thet stopped it) than you where before therefore if you dont want to be stressing your self out and that seems to be the only thing your doing, your picking a fight with newbaby that for the safety and well being of your baby you should probably drop, "take it easy" is not usually what a doctor tells you (as i had a friend who went through preterm labour) they give you conditions that you need to follow (ie. bed rest, no stress... not just take it easy)

angelmonkey! why do you bother coming on here and posting? every time you do, you get slammed left, right and center! no matter what you say, it's either taken out of context, ridiculed, proven wrong, your comments are not wanted and replies always questioned. It's really like all those girls got together and go out of their way to pick at everything you say to either create drama or feed off the drama already created. don't get me wrong, I think what they do is beyond wrong, but it can't possibly feel good to keep getting slammed like that. Do you honestly enjoy being on this site?? You can't possibly derive any kind of support from here, a shot at self-esteem maybe but not support. I'm just wondering why you keep coming back...you are either incredibly lonely, feel like you have nowhere else to go (and believe me you do, any other site would be a step up from some of the big mouths here) or you enjoy it. You remind me of a beaten kitten that keeps coming back for more..............

psst....that would actually be a beaten puppy.....but hey!! we are nice to the people that deserve to be treated well : P

i dont know if what shes saying is true. I've never been through preterm labour or had anything like that happen to me. I dont know much about it. I may HATE angel. yes, hate. However, i do hope her baby is fine and safe throughout the rest of her pregnancy.

ashley.you really think im stressed because someone doesnt beleive me........no im not thats just your opinion........secondly they have put me on bedrest and i have been sent on maternity leave early because of the risk i also have to see my midwife every 2 weeks........is that good enough for you.............? so yes i am putting my baby first im sat here relaxing im not stressed i,ve had a very stress free day compared so thanks ashley but stop a__suming my doctor has not told me things just because i havnt told you......... preppy im not the kind of person who cares really........there are people on here who i do talk to so thanks for your concern but i wont be going anywhere and i will post where i like and preppy it really does not bother me what these people say.i do find it amusing most of the time so i have no need to go....it doesnt bother me.it doesnt upset me.its the internet pb thanks for hoping my baby is ok..to eveyone else its not about me it is about my baby being born at the right time and safley.......also if you dont beleive me fine..i dont need to prove anything its youir opinion although to anyone who is pregnant or has had a baby why would anyone lie about this? its a very serious thing and personally myself think that especially while carrying a child you wish yourself and your baby to fine so why would someone say this? i dont know i dont care this was to the people i do get along with ( yes there are some) so any posts about me lying will get ignored
