Seems ok today

I finally called my OB last night. I had 4 contractions in about 30 minutes while laying down. It took 90 minutes to get a call back, and by that time the contractions had eased. He said to go to bed and go to my previously scheduled u/s at the peri's this AM. He also said if I bled or had anymore contractions to go right to the hospital rather than call. Probably should have done that in the first place, but hey, my way I got to see Agassi pull out a win at the US Open. Off to my u/s soon.

I seem to only contract if I am up and doing things. Had 2 while changing the bed at 5 AM after JD had an accident. He never wets the bed, of course this AM had to be the day! smile.gif

Wish I had a crystal ball

I have complete placenta previa (the placenta completely covers my cervix). In 75% of cases, this leads to bleeding. I had the barest amount of blood on the TP this afternoon, and have been having a lot of contractions. Baby is not moving as much as I am used to either. I am debating calling the doc. I have an u/s with the peri group in the AM. Wondering if I should just wait til then or call now. From what I have researched when bleeding happens, it happens between 27 and 34 weeks. I'm exactly 27 weeks today.

Don't really feel like spending hours in L&D, but don't want to take risks either. I just hate being the "girl who cried wolf". Gosh I wish I had that Crystal ball!

Anyway, its 8:30 pm here. Mom and uncle are putting the boys down (dh is in chicago for work). I'm going to go lay down and try to sleep. If the contractions continue I guess I will call the doc.
