IS ANYONE AROUND??? may be having contractions

[pucca]

Woke up about 1.30 with fairly bad cramping, stomach going quite tight, mild cramps constantly but seem to peak for 30 secs - 1 min or so, i am 33 weeks pg, been painful enough for me to end up crying and am obviously out of bed.Tummy muscles feel a bit tender from the tightening.

What do you think? The main worry is i am having a elective section, and obviously only 33 weeks....help please.

Ihave thought I was in labour with three of mine between 35 and 38 weeks only to find it was false alarms - it could just be a practice run. make a cup of tea (or whatever relaxes you) and know that if you can drift off back to sleep you'll; be woken if its the real thing. why are you electing a section - would it be a problem if you are in labour?

AS...Having a section due to a 3rd degree tear with my dd and ongoing probs following that.

oooohh - had a friend who elected for a c section cos of that - she was in pain for ages after birth of ds1. soory - can't help with that - I had four - but none of them were too bad - on the positive side i am awake.
How are you doing... do you have a do there.. is dd1 asleep , still contracting?

sorry a dp or dh there not a do!!!!

I didn't actually ask for a section, i just went with what the consultant advised, yes still got pains, dd is up with me as she woke up with the heat.

Thanks for replying

Dh is here but currently asleep on sofa, men fab aren't they?! lol

How are you Pucca?
I'm going through the same thing (although 41 wks)...bit lonely isn't it?
Try not to panic, apronstrings' advice is good and 33 weeks is not so terribly early...thinking of you

Hah, dp was asleep on sofa but went up to bed when I came down!

Hi AdelaideS...Are you having contractions then? men show such concern don't they lol.

I am waiting up for dd to come home from girl scout trip - do I'm good to chat if you want to take your mind off things...this will make you laughtalking of our men... on the day ds 1 was due I went to see midwife (had an appointment) and knew things were happening.. i was 5 cm dilated, dh went into work to finish thigs up because he knew he wasn't going to make it the next day

Hi Pucca,

Ooooow!
See you!

oohh - your on the way then, Hope all goes well - will be thinking of you

Sorry AdelaideS, didn't see your post!

Good luck. Let us know how you get on. How exciting.

Hi i am still here, the pains wore off about 6am, but my tummy feels tender and still have a few niggles. God knows what last night was all about, panicked me though! The pains were really bad for a couple of hours, couldn't sit down with them anyway...kept thinking braxton hicks but surely they shouldn't be that painful?

Thanks for all the replies

Hi Pucca,

Glad you're ok

Can't advise on Braxton Hicks, are they supposed to hurt that much?? Good that your LO is hanging on fo a bit.
