20+ BH in One Hour... Hospital Doesn't Want Me! Lol

[ReReKitty]

Just as title stated, I had 23 BH contractions timed in exactly an hour. I know they are BH because they don't really hurt and I talk through them just fine. I was lying down on my side, drinking water, yet they stayed between 3-5 mins apart. They fluctuated but never longer than 5 mins. It isn't in my head or anything, my stomach was rock hard and I felt very... aware of my cervix if that makes sense lol. Felt just like the BHs I've been getting since 17 weeks and my MW told me to call if there were more than 4 an hour. Obviously there were quite more than that. I started getting a sore back. I've been losing bits of my mucus plug all week which doesn't make much of a difference since it regenerates itself and it was never bloody. For a couple days I have been getting different kinds of contractions or maybe just cramps. Menstrual-like I am guessing... I only got cramps during my period once when I was like 15. They were low in my abdomen sometimes, and other times my ENTIRE stomach hurt. No constipation or other bathroom issues, just radiating pain. I even got backaches during. But since it was only like 3 painful contractions a day I let it go until tonight.

I called the L&D to see if I should come in and explained everything I just mentioned above to the nurse. She seemed entirely disinterested and told me to call if they got stronger. I was a little embarrassed for wasting her precious five minutes. I was just so scared. I'm still getting the BHs but they are not getting stronger. Randomly, my bellybutton is just really sore! Lol. I knew it wasn't true labor, but I figured this many BHs was a problem? I'm guessing not. I stopped timing them and now my bump feels like my legs after a charley horse. Owwwww.

I think they really only care about more than 4 BH in an hour if your not close to being due. I have been having a couple of hours of regular BH's about every 3-4 minutes every night for a week but labour and delivery doesn't care. Same thing happened with my son for four weeks and I still had to be induced
