QuestionI had lower abdominal cramps and went to have it checked out they told me my outer cervix was dialated but the inner one is closed. this is all i was told so does that mean i could go into labor at anytime? should i be resting? is this a risk to my baby? im only 29 weeks into my pregnancy.
AnswerHello Kristy- you are showing signs of premature labor. You need to be off your feet as much as possible- stop working, no intercourse. Don't put ANYTHING into your vagina. Did the DR. not tell you all this? Yes, birth at this time would be very dangerous for your baby. You need to be eating ONLY the BEST of food to give your baby every chance of survival should birth happen soon. That means NO junk food, soda, candy, fast food, desserts, eliminate ALL sugar- except that in three pieces of fruit a day and eat LOTS of protein- meat, fish, eggs, beef, chicken and low fat dairy. If you develop any vaginal bleeding, see your midwife or dr. right away. All the best- Cheri.
