I am only 18 weeks pregnant... the Doctor i saw said to stay on bed rest until the contractions stop... and then it would be fine to return to work... but I'm almost wondering if I should be off work entirely... My family Doctor is on vacation this week so i wont be able to talk to him for awhile. I will up the fluid intake for sure.... I ve been drinking water and lots of juices and gatoraide and hot tea (decaf). Hopefully something works to keep this baby inside. The Dr did say that he wants to measure my cervix at the next ultrasound to see if i have an incompetent cervix but he said that putting in a stich or anything like that would be of no help at this point. Its just frustrating when you dont know what to do... and i want this baby to stay put.. we worked really hard to have this baby (had endometriosis removed in march) and i dont want anything to happen to him or her.
