I am 20w1d today and have been noticing many daily contractions since Sunday. Sunday and Monday I was kind of counting in my head and got up to a total of 10 on Sunday and 8 on Monday. Then this morning I started keeping a log and I'm up to 9 right now. I've been on bedrest from an SCH which is now very small and almost gone. I haven't had any bleeding in over 6 weeks and these contractions came on very suddenly. They are not strong, in fact they are barely noticible. I may just feel a twinge and then feel my lower uterus and its hard. Usually along the bottom and up the sides, but sometimes in the middle too. This is so unnerving since I finally got good news last week about the SCH on its way out and I've crossed the 20 week mark. I called my OB today and went in for a cervix check which was long and closed. They told me to call if I had 6 or more an hour. The OB said they could hook me up to the monitor, but it was really too early for that.
My cervix was measured last week by the peri and it was about 3.9, but that was prior to the ctx. I am getting really freaked out about this - has anyone had this experience (so early, so frequent and so suddenly) that can share the outcome? I am terrified that this is heading me in the direction of PTL.
