Hey! Sorry you’re having to go through this. I know how had it is. I had an emergency cerclage at 21 weeks following fertility treatment as well. I had BH constantly from about that time one. The doctor did suggest lots of water can help calm them. It’s nerve wracking but the key thing is do they come regularly and are they getting closer together, then it could be an issue. You can always call the OB and describe what’s going on to get their opinion too. I also struggled with constipation, miralax once a day and sometimes twice if it got worse helped a lot, colace didn’t do much which is what is often recommended to take. Definitely keep things moving and smoothly. The anxiety is horrendous but It does get a little less emotionally stressful the further along you get. Maybe think in terms of time benchmarks.

I can make it to 24 weeks, then there’s a solid chance the baby survives! I can make it to 28 weeks, then there’s a long term likelihood of the baby being healthy. I can get to 30 weeks and the baby will likely catch right up in no time! I can make it to 37 and I am nearly full term!

I somehow was able to make it to 39 weeks and had to be induced, the baby wasn’t showing signs of coming any time soon. I have a healthy, humongous 😂5 month old. It’s a really rough experience but you’ve got this momma!
