Good or bad Any advise?

Question

I have been having braxton hicks contractions for 3weeks now. I went to the hospital on Sunday because I had continuous pain in my abdomen and the baby only moved twice in a hour. They sent me home cause I was only 1cm and 30% effaced. Now I am having more contractions (more intense), accompanied by heartburn and nausea. Should I have my Dr. strip my membranes at my appt tomorrow?

Answer 1

Stripping membranes never did anything for me.  My doc stripped mine like three times.  My best advice is just to walk walk walk.  Sorry about the heartburn/nausea.  Gaviscon sp? worked the best for me, rolaides and tums didn't help at all.  I heard that some women get the nausea at the very end.  You must be close.  Congrats and I hope this helps.

Answer 2

good

Answer 3

Just let nature do it's thing... no need to try to force labor unless you are in an emergency situation.

Answer 4

You didn't mention how far along you are...

Answer 5

Wow, I've never had experience with being pregnant but I think you should make your way to the hospital when your contractions are like 2-3 minutes apart. If not more like, 4-5 minutes. Good luck with your new baby boy or girl!!
