Day 67: In For The Long Haul?

I was taken off Nifedipine, my anti-contraction medicine, on Monday, after being on it for eleven weeks (between weeks 25 and 36). The entire time I was on it, doctors had to keep increasing my dosages because I was still experiencing contractions and other preterm labor symptoms, though the medicine thankfully kept my cervix stable and Baby Boy was able to stay put.  I even wound up in the hospital at 28 weeks because the medicines weren't able to stop labor from starting.  Thus, I would have bet that I would be one of those women who instantly go into labor after stopping the meds. Ironically enough, after months of constant contractions (sometimes 10 or more an hour), things have strangely settled down now that I'm off the medicine and bed rest and have increased my activity level.  Several women on the message boards I looked at today said they either went full-term or even past their due dates after stopping Nifedipine (Procardia) at 36 weeks.  J is convinced that that will be the case with me, and I'm becoming more and more convinced that I'll have to be induced at 41 weeks. I might just be in this for the long haul, but we shall see. Whatever be the case, I'm not in active labor yet (just a few contractions here and there) and I am getting a little bit impatient for this baby to get here.  But he can take all the time he needs, and I'll just keep myself busy in the meantime.  We'll keep everyone posted when something starts happening.
