Im 33 weeks pregnant and have nearly finished a course of antibiotics for bladder infection which can apparently irritate the uterus and cause contractions.
I've just been sent home from delivery suite where the monitor showed I was contracting regularly every 3-4 minutes. An internal examination (speculum) showed cervix to be oedematous with lots of 'normal' looking discharge but yet appearing to be closed.
So I've been sent home with codeine and told to call if I'm worried or if my waters break!
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm interested in what happened if so! I thought regular contractions 3-4 minutes meant you were in established labour but evidently not!
