Even after pretty much doing nothing since last week Wednesday, my uterus decided to hate me even more. Last night I was contracting like crazy, about 6-7 times an hour. I called the on-call OB, who promptly told me to go to L&D.
Got hooked up to the monitor and saw a bunch of contractions. Cervix checked -looked fine. Good news. The L&D resident thinks that with two babies in there my uterus is just going to do this. But, when I called my OB today they want me to continue bedrest today and tomorrow with the hope that my ute will calm down.
I am torn b/c I want to do what is best, but I am getting conflicting advice. I tend to be overly cautious, but I worry that these contractions are just not going to end, and I will assume they are normal, until one day they do affect my cervix and I won't notice until it is too late.
I ended the night in tears yesterday declaring that I am a failure at growing babies. My body does not want to cooperate. Why can't this be easier? Not for my sake, but for theirs:(

I hope that things settle down soon! Im sorry this is so hard :(
I'm sorry hun. I hope that your uterus calms down so you can breathe a little easier.
Carrying twins is hard! Try not to blame yourself. I'll be hoping your ute calms down after these two days of bedrest. ((HUGS))
Oh I'm so sorry about this. Maybe you could contact an acupuncturist and see if he can help your uterus calm down... Since no drugs are involved, it may a good way to manage the contractions. Hope things get better soon! (HUGS)
You are not a failure! Carrying one baby is extremem on your body, let alone two! You're doing the right thing for you and your babies - and just think, this time next year you'll have two gorgeous kids and all these bad memories of bedrest will be just that: distant memories.
