C-section moms?

I am due to have a c-section at 39 weeks. I am 35 weeks and 4 days right now. I went in two days ago with contractions every 3 min but I was only dialted to 1cm and stayed that way for a couple hours so they stoped the contractions with a shot. Ever sice that night I still have contractions and I have droped so much that everyone noticed. My question is do I go to the doctors again or do I wait until I am in complete active labor? I don't want the medication again and I don't want to wait so long that I have to have an emercency c-section. The nurse said at this point they will not try to stop active labor and if I was dialted more they would just do the c-section. My next appointment is 1 week away. I know normal births need to wait for contractions to be close and strong but for c-sections and early labor it is not the same.

i would go to the doctor or to the hospital if i were you. i was1cm dilated then 5hrs later i was 7! i wasn't meant to have a c section but my baby turned transverse breech. if you are having a cesarean they would prefer your waters not to break. if its becoming active labour you must go to the hospital. it's better off to get checked out. i was 1 cm dilated for a week then it went full scale. they put you in if your in pain that you can't handle and if you can't sleep . i had a sleeping pill cause i did't sleep for a week. so it's better off they can keep an eye on you.
Reply:My friend was scheduled to have a c-section and actually her water broke and had to have the baby early! like almost 2 weeks! she was fine but was in NICU for a day.
Reply:If the contractions come and go (maybe for an hour each day), then I'd wait it out. However, if you've had contractions since then, I'd go in to get checked. Which is worse - getting a shot or having a problem with your child and creating an emergency situation since you didn't want to go in?


Besides, at 36 weeks, they don't stop labor and chances are your child will require minimal NICU time - lungs are totally fine by 36-37 weeks. So, if you're more dialated, it may just be your body's way of letting you know this baby is ready to be born.
