So For the past couple hours about every 15 mins I'd say....I get a contraction that lasts abot 20-30 secs...it kind of worries me. IT starts in my hips and then goes into my back then around to my tummy. They feel like real contractions...idk..I called Doctor and he said just to rest and stay hydrated...Its all rather scary! I am only 19.5 weeks with twins!! This definatly isn't supposed to be happening right now. =( I swear so far for me this has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through..this whole pregnancy has been difficult. Any suggestions? I know they arent lasting a minute and that is good....but they are regular. which is scary...I haven't been bleeding either soo that is another good thing, only difference down there discharge is thicker then normal and more of it...IDK I feel like I am being such a worry wart!!

They say you are fine if you have less than 6 a hour. I would just go to sleep and drink LOTS of water. Sometimes dehydration can cause contractions. If your really worried it wouldnt hurt to go to l & d just to get checked out. Better safe than sorry.
I suggest calming down about the situation - - the more stress and worry - - the higher the risks. Lay down and get you some rest, drink plenty of fluids. If the pain gets worse or starts to get closer together - - then I would definitely get checked out. Keep us posted.
Lots of rest. I started having real contractions at 27 weeks and I had them literally every 5 minutes until I had my daughter at 35 weeks. It could just be braxton hicks. but i would lay down they more your up the more pressure on your cervix if it is something. And since you have twins. If it doesn't help go to L&D just to be checked it will put your mind at ease too
Thanks everyone...unfortunatly I can't lay down...I am at work...and to top things off I have had to go to the bath room *tmi* to go #2 every 30 mins too...I am not overly worried..just a lil I am trying not to stress. because I know it makes it worse. Thanks for your advice!!

Do you sit at work? can you at least prop your feet up some?
Are your BM's really loose? that can be a sign of labor. But it can also be that the babies are pushing on your bowels and making things irregular.
Are you still having what you think are contractions? Are the better or worse?
