Although mine wasn’t fixed so fast. I worked all day as a housekeeper at a hotel, thinking the cramps was just because I pulled a muscle or something in my stomach from getting use to my new job.. I struggled to work through it all day. In tears on and off from the waves of pain.. I made it to the end of the day and it still didn’t go away, I had no appetite and could barely stand up I was in so much pain. So I went to the ER and they ended up checking my cervix, which was still closed thankfully but continued to monitor me and pump me full of fluids and waited for the contractions to stop. Nice to know I’m not the only one who went through this

I am only 18 weeks and went to the hospital last night due to bleeding, contracting and a shortening cervix (still closed!)
I’m still having some contractions today. They think the bleeding was a sub chorionic hemorrhage but aren’t sure. Probably won’t know until I see my midwife on Monday.
At this point my baby would NOT survive. Nobody even checked my fluids last night. I can’t even believe it. I have not been drinking near as much water as I should be – and I’ve been very busy at my work (server/bartender.)
I started progesterone today and was told by my doctor to take ibuprofen to stop contractions.
Nothing helped until I discovered I may be dehydrated and started chugging water.
Now I’m doing lots of research and seeing stuff like this! How did the doctors at the ER not think of this??
Thank you for writing this!

PS … baby is currently kicking me. She’s good. I just have to help my body keep her in there!!
