She is in a room right now and they are bring in her some food. they have an IV hooked up. She is having contarctions every 3 1/2 to 4 minutes but is not dialted. So they are going to try to stop the contractions soon. Any updates will be posted when they occur. Thanks all. Minnie is doing great. Just wanted to update you all. I just talked to her and she says to say hi to her friends etc. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Thank you for the info about Minnie and the baby. Did Minnie say if the baby is ok? Is she (the baby) moving around now or at least have they heard a heart beat? Give her my best and prayers will go out to all.

I am glad to hear that she is in the hospital as that is the best place she should be with her symptoms. They will be able to keep an eye on her and the baby and do what they need to do if some problems arise. I hope that everything works out fine with your daughter and grandbaby. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I am sorry to hear that minnie is in hospital, hopefully they will be able to stop the contractions or maybe they will just stop on their own. I started in labour at 31 weeks with my last child,my fourth child, I did not dilate, just had the cramps and the contractions. They got to the point where they were coming every 1 - 2 minutes and I was really scared, they gave me two steroid shots to strengthen her lungs just in case and kept me in. The contractions eventually stopped of their own accord and I ended up going 8 days over! So it is completely possible that they will stop, but even if they do not stop and baby is born I reckon it should be fine. Please pass on my good wishes to her XxX

I am sorry to hear that Minnie is having early labor, but glad to hear she is ok. Try not to worry too much. My DIL had early contractions from when he was 22 weeks pregnant up until she had the baby at term. I probably took her to the hospital 15 to 20 times. They would give her a shot, that would stop the contractions and then send her home. Please keep us up to date.

Well like I said, they are trying to stop the contractions right now so hopefully things go well one way or the other. They had a trip planned up North to se his family tonight so that is out for the day at least. Thanks also. She mentioned a shot possibly when I last talked to her.

Good luck to your daughter, Minnie. I hope that either her contractions stop and she goes home or she has her baby that is healthy. Plenty of babies are born at 36 weeks pregnancy and they are fine. It will be lovely to hear an update soon on the situation. Take care.
