Due elcs in 2 days having painful contractions what do I do?

[butterflyexperience]

Do I ride it out or get checked out?

[TiredyCustards]

What did the consultant say re going into labour early?

[drinkyourmilk]

Get it checked out.

[TiredyCustards]

I only ask because I had an elcs booked but consultant told me I had to attempt vbac if I went into labour before. bastards

Actually, either way I'd call labour ward.

Contact your labour ward. They should get you in an perform the section sooner.

[butterflyexperience]

They will only bring forward if cervix change, bleeding or waters breaking

I'm 36+4 with twins

Elcs in 2 days

[butterflyexperience]

Oh and contax are bout 5 mins apart and can feel them inspire of having paracetamol and codeine

[Locketjuice]

I would say get checked!
They say come when they are 3 mins apart normally anyway x

[Jollyb]

Definitely contact labour ward if twins. Are they happy for you to have a vaginal delivery? If not why would they let you go through 2 days of contractions before your section? I'm having an elective section and have been advised to contact labour ward if any sign of labour.

Ring labour ward. I started contractions 12 hours before my elcs. Was 6cms by the time they examined me and was given the option did I want to go ahead vbac or would they set things up for cs. I chose vbac but was happy that it was my decision to do so and they put the ball in my court.

Rang labour ward and spoke to sister who remembered me from the last time I went in and said that I'd been having pains like this for a while hadn't I.

She made me feel like I was being a pita so I didn't go in

They would only bring csection forward if my cervix was past 3 cm dilated

I have no idea if it is

Managed to sleep it off for a while

Will just try and cope till allotted csection date

[Cravingdairy]

I would ring again myself if the contractions are still going. How are you supposed to know how far you are dilated?

[LadyMetroland]

Just ring them and say you're going in. Don't ask them, tell them. There's no harm in being checked.

[Locketjuice]

How are you OP

[butterflyexperience]

Ok
Contax seemed to have died down. Still taking codeine and paracetamol

Just so confusing at what I'm supposed to do

Feel like I don't get taken seriously as I'm not in active labour.

Not long now til your holding a new squishy baby! Keep thinking about that instead
