Well, our Sunday wasn't as relaxing as we'd hoped...I've been feeling "off" (for lack of a better term) since Saturday around noon. I didn't sleep at all Saturday night and this morning I felt worse. So we decided to visit the hospital. I was having contractions every 3-4 minutes but most of them were not painful (uncomfortable but not painful). I was given a double oral dose of Brethine and a shot of Brethine (the same medicine I was given Wednesday) and it didn't even slow down the contractions. They started running tests. The contractions are not "progressing" me and the babies are handling them okay. The Ffn test was negative. So this is my new normal. They said that it's not uncommon for women with multiples to have a lot of preterm contractions. They don't really mean I'm in labor, but they do mean I'm on very strict bed rest.
I have another appointment tomorrow morning just to double check everything but for now...no babies and we don't expect babies for a few more weeks!!
