15 +1 I never ask for advice but I need it now - a bit nervous

[Jaycrew]

I try not to be a worrier. But my last 3 pregnancies I went in to Preterm labor at some point or another.

This is my 8th viable pregnncy. I have 7 children.. First 3 vaginal and last 3 births c sections (twins are in the equation) so here I am and since yesterday upon standing I have a pelvic pressure in my vagina. Like pressure that hurts. I also had a headache from saturday until last night before going to bed- and I feel it sneaking up on me again. Im at work but I sit all day - but as I am sitting - I noticed that my belly feels like its getting tight every few mins. So I went to fill my water jug up again to make sure Im hydrated and to empty my bladder becuase I know that a bull bladder can irritate the uterus.

That being said- I have a Dr's appt on Thursday. I wonder if i should just wait. My concern is me having 3 previous c sections (last one in 2009) could that be causing some sort of irritation? I mean - should I be worried? XOXO

I don't really have any experience with your situation but I strongly believe that if you have any concerns you should call your doctor to ask rather than waiting. Better safe than sorry.

thank you Ilove Lucy! Its still happening. I think my fear is my Dr telling me I have to be put on bed rest - that - I cant afford right now. DH was laid off so - my income is all that we have. I know my last ones I was placed on bed rest - in particular with my sons off and on it seemed like everyother month then finally hospitalized for almost 2 mos. It was horrible

I agree. It's always better to call than to worry.
I did have a c section before (in 2011) but i don't remember having this many Braxton hicks.
I would call for a peace of mind.

For sure - I agree wholeheartedly. Im going to finish my jug of water just to make sure its not a hydration issue. If push come to shove and it does not let up - particulary what I am feeling as "contractions" then I will def call him or his nurse and see what they advise. Prayfully it will let up. Its mainly in my back and sides but dull. and the tightening. which I think is just so odd to feel this early, thats part of why im feeling like im going crazy a bit.
