I remember my doctors telling me that a FFN test could give you a false positive if you'd had a pelvic exam in the last 48 hours. (Here's an article that says the same thing: http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/ffn/test.html). Are they giving you terbutaline? They gave me a terbutaline shot when I had similar symptoms and the contractions slowed way down after that - even after the terbutaline had worn off. Good luck to you - hope everything is going okay. Hi, I’m sorry that you had to go back to the hospital – I know it’s really scary.

I am still waiting to see what google search terms I get in stats thanks to the revenge plot stated here! Will be plenty of disappointed pr0n seekers, I imagine, hitting this post over time!

I know it might be 'best' for them to stay put for quite awhile longer, but if they choose to come earlier, it sounds like you've got a really strong medical team behind you that is ready to give their all to keeping the babies healthy and safe. Stay strong..... and sorry 'bout your sore pelvis :[ I think you have the right idea on how to get your revenge, though. Much love for you and the boys (all three of them)!

The reassurances, encouragement and the stories are very helpful right now. When you've never done this before it seems so crazy - it is nice to hear from women who've gone through pregnancy that can provide proof that you can survive all kinds of stuff!

Just found you through your comment on BlogHer. Just wated to reassure you that you can do this! I went on bedrest with my twins at 14 weeks with contrax and bleeding and remained on bedrest for....6 MONTHS. I had steroids twice and ended up having them at 35 weeks. They were both great weights and breathing very well & even came home from the hospital with me 4 days later. Just keep telling yourself to listen to your body and it's great advice to remind yourself that there are TWO babies in there, so your body thinks you're further along. You can do this! Hi!

It helps more than you know. It's funny because I know how much worse things can get so it gives me some perspective that hey, right in this moment, things are okay. So I'm just trying to stay here. And today after some sleep, I am feeling a lot better. Though, I'll be here through Monday. Just in case. Thanks Chestnut for being there for us. It helps more than you know.
