So, I don't frequent this side of DS too often - I'm more of the lurk and pray type here. But, if anyone feels so inclined could you please send some prayers my way? I've been on modified bed rest for the past month due to too many contractions. This week I'm allowed to increase my activity s.l.o.w.l.y. Well, I never even got a chance to do that because I've been having way too many since Sunday. I had prodromal labor with my first baby but it didn't start until now, where this time it's been going on for a month already. I had DD just shy of 38 weeks. I'm so scared I won't make it to 37 weeks with this one.

UPDATE: I am 36 weeks now! Only one more week to go, minimum. Taking it one day at a time. Had a scare last Thursday night and spent the entire night in triage. Awful, awful night but we are so blessed that this little girl is still IN!!!!!

Thank you all for your prayers that this little girl stay in until it is safe for her to come out! Thank you, thank you!

I was on hospitalized bed rest with my oldest. He was born at 39 weeks.

With my now 19 month old I had contractions almost constantly. I was told to rest as much as possible. It didn't really help much, but I kept him baking until 37+4.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Thank you, G and H's Mom!

My body is calmer today. I am staying down as much as possible though.
