Well, I guess I should make an introduction first off. My name is Alisha, I'm 20 years old and expecting my first child this October. I'm happily married to the greatest man in the world and yes, this was a planned pregnancy.

So anyway, my great new pregnancy issue. I was having extreme pain through my back and abdominal region so intense that I ended up making a trip down to the hospital. I figured it was probably a kidney infection, which they did end up treating me for, but while I was down there, they also found that I was having pretty significant contractions. My cervix was still tight and everything looked good, save for the four minute contractions, so they kept me for three nights to monitor and sent me home on a huge amount of medication. Aside from the sleeping medication, pain medication, and antibiotics, I'm also taking procardia and terbutaline every two hours. It's been six days now and my heart rate has not fallen below 130, I haven't stopped shaking or throwing up, and I've lost three pounds. I'm so sick I can't leave my room. Anyone been through this?
