I have been having BH for weeks now, but at about 5pm today they got stronger, i cant walk when i have them and they are now coming with a big pressure in my bottom and vagina (like i need to pee/poo or both).
I am 37wks4 and this is my 4th child.I was induced with my first 2 and my 3rd started with period pains.
I am supposed to have a secton in 12days so im a bit worried about anything starting too early.
Oh the BH are coming every 20mins.
Thanks for any input.

That should say c-section!

I'd call the doctor if you are in danger form going in to labour early (is that why you have a c-sec scheduled). At 37 weeks you know you are technically term.

You need to get checked over, had this with DS2 and he was born 1 1/2 hours later!

If you're scheduled for a section and these are regular and you're getting pressure I'd phone the hospital - as kittens says, you're full term at 37 weeks so labour could be on the cards any time.

Bh shouldn't stop you in your tracks. Get checkedGrin
