Am booked in for a section in 3 weeks but if I get contractions how quickly should I contact the hospital?

[nymphadora]

Had an hour & half the other other night of approx 10 mins apart but only thought about half way through they might not have been BH. Then they stopped so I ignored them. I had been to MW earlier that day and had mentioned aches to her and the pain I had when with her she didn't think it was a proper one IYSWIM.

Just had 2 about 15mins apart so if I get more how long would you leave it before getting checked out?

Can you ring your midwife? There is a mobile no on my yellow book that I can ring any time - perhaps see what they say?

I don't have a MW team, officially I'm cons only so have to go into Labour ward if theres any problems so am more reluctant to keep going for false alarms IYSWIM.

I would assume it depends on why you are having a section. I had contractions 15 minutes apart for an hour and didn't have my baby that day.

If you are unsure I think it is always best to get checked out.

Oh I see, what a pain.

I'm having it after 2 previous ones. Failure to progress. Didn't engage much wih either and this time baby is 3/5 down and I'm 35+4. I also have SPD which may be making me more sensitive to the pain (if that makes sense)

More ominously baby is quiter today , no bashing me about yet , just the little movements! Although they could just have moved again and thats why I have pains & not much movememts.

I'm no good in the house on my own, I'm over thinking everything aren't I

Have phoned dh at work to make sure he has his phone on in case!

Get to the hospital and get checked out, seriously.

NExt one hasn't come ....

If it does I'll phone!

Keep an eye on the movements.

Will do!

Nothing else so hopefully that wa it for now and baby has just tried to ram their bottom out of my right side so they are fine!

That's good.
