Where to begin?! So I am currently 36+4 with a breech baby. I've had a really great pregnancy so far and, minus bump being breech, have had no issues or complications at all.
Last Friday evening I started having what I thought were BH contractions. They weren't painful and didn't seem that noticeable so never thought anything of it. By Saturday morning they were very noticeable, about 1 in 10 and lasting between 30-45 seconds each. Phoned triage straight away and they told me come to hospital (basically as soon as I mention the breech word). Ended up spending all weekend in hospital; I was 1cm dilated and they though I might need to have an EMCS if I continued to dilate, along with these 'contractions'. I also got steroid injections for babies lungs. Ended up not needing EMCS, contractions lessened and I didn't dilate any further; just been told I really need to monitor the situation. Today, I just got a letter today from hospital saying my tests came back and I have group B strep and now have to deal with that too.
I don't really know how I feel anymore, after having had everything go so smoothly, it feels like the last week has just been one things after another. I am just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and how long after that did they go into labour? Did it go smoothly? I know that with a breech baby it's more than likely I'll need a c-section anyway, but I just kind of feel so on edge now, I am overthinking every movement, every niggle and it's making me hate this part of pregnancy :(
