Anyone else 21 weeks (or so) and having to keep track of contractions?
I’m 21 weeks and will start 22 on wednesday. Had my prenatal yesterday where I was checked to see if there had been anymore dilation. I’m still at 1 1/2 cm and since this is our second child the nurse/midwife says this is normal, my cervix is still 4 in thick so she’s happy about that. The issue is the braxton hicks! I finally let go of the anxiety I had a few weeks ago when the fill-in OB/Gyn freaked me out.
She wanted me to watch them and make sure to call if more than 4 an hour. However then I learned that really nothing to worry about unless coupled with some other danger signs. This time though, my doc said yes to call if more than 4 an hour for a 2 hour period even with no other signs! Needing prayers so I don’t get the anxiety back and also to stop having them or so many. Anyone else in the same boat?
Please no horror stories lol given the nature of this request (on the brink of anxiety) that wouldn’t be best:) thanks
