I have been pretty much a lurker at SC but I wanted to post after reading this thread.
I worked all day Monday and had contractions that I thought were Braxton Hicks, not painful, my stomach just got hard. In the evening I was going to the bathroom & turned to flush and there was a tiny strand of mucous, it was egg white consistency & blood tinged. I was worried then just laid down with my older children for bed. I called the Dr in the am and was sent for an U/S. The radiologist & dr thought I had an IC and sent me to a larger city nearby to have a cerclage placed this am. (I am 27 wks with a first pregnancy after 16 years of infertility-no treatment for the last 5 years) When the OB looked at my sono from yesterday he did not see the IC, but they had me do an internal u/s in the office. Well, I am showing funneling (sp?) and am now on bedrest. The ob said it was preterm labor not IC and I received a cortisone injection today.
