Confused about my bh

justplainTIFF · Mar 28th, 2012, 15:44 PM

I've gotten bh for quite a while now and am getting used to them. But lately try have been stronger over the past weeks. Well today I had a few fairly close within an hour and decided to lay down for a nap. I was in there about an hour and had a few while laying down. But since getting up about an hour ago thu seem to be coming regularly but without pain. I called my docs office and talked to a nurse and am just waiting for a call back. What should I do in the mean time? I've drunk water and tried laying down an that doesn't seem to help. Can I be in early labor already?

I had quite a few BH around 33 weeks, turns out I had a UTI although I had no other symptoms. May be something you could ask about, apparently urine infections can set them off. Hope you get some answers soon xx

Can u try a bath? Do u have to poop? Sometimes mine flare up if I need to poop. U may have an irritable uterus too - I do. Time them and write it down so you have something to tell them when they call back too

I had gotten dehydrated at about 28 weeks and had to go get monitored. this feels a bit different. I talked to the nurse again and she had spoken to my doc. They said to eat something, drink water and track them for another hour. If they continue in a similar fashion they want me to go to the hospital to be checked and monitored. My family has a history of early labors. I'm hoping to go another couple weeks but the way my contractions are today I'm not going to get too hopeful. Is laying down or moving about supposed to lessen them if they're just regular bh? so far nothing seems to be working.

They say relaxing or switching positions should relieve them if it's a real bh. Hopefully u won't have to go to the hospital but good luck hun

Not a poop problem. I've already gone twice today. after eating and changing my position, they're still coming regularly. longest gap i've had between was 7 minutes. and they are becoming uncomfortable. What part of the bump does the pain start in if they're real? also, baby isn't moving as much. i can feel an odd movement here and there but he's usually really active.

That sounds scary I would just go in if I were you esp since baba is slowing movements. If its a real contraction they are different for everyone so it's hard to say

talked to my mom cuz i'm a bit worried. I was born 6 weeks early and she said her contractions didn't hurt her until just before pushing. I'm calling my doc in a few minutes again to update her and to go to the hospital. i just got one contraction with a bit more of a cramping down low to my right side. ahhhh!!!! I'm nervous.

Keep us posted Hun but I think you should go in definitely no matter what your doctor says !

Make sure you update us, I had them for around 4 hours yesterday and nothing calmed them down. Like yours they were regular, changing position even having a bath did nothing. They got to around every ten minutes then I had a horrendous pain in my cervix and they stopped lol. Good luck x
