Premature labour?

[c307]

Slightly nervous as I'm having tummy ache and back ache at 33 weeks pregnant. It's a constant dull ache that does seem to get slightly more intense around every 20 mins atm.

Could it be early labour realistically?

Baby is moving fine, wriggling around loads.

Any advice/previous similar stories?

Dts were born 31+3, I thought I had food poisoning from a Chinese take away...get checked out.

@idontlikealdi what happened? This just seems pretty mild so makes me think it couldn't be anything

@c307
My waters went at 32 weeks dd 32+4 after a steroid injection
I was the same tummy ache like period pain then afew hours later plug went then waters
Scary at the time but we were both fine but please contact your local maternity unit
Good luck 😉 hope all is ok x

Get checked out. Tonight. If it is early preterm labour, the steroid injections make life a lot easier for the baby, but take a bit of time to work, so getting checked promptly is really important.

Paranoid about this, I’m 34 weeks now. Any time I’ve had period-like pains (without being tmi) it’s turned out to be solved by going to the toilet. If there’s a pattern to it definitely get checked. Contractions like that can start and stop too so doesn’t mean you’re going to have the baby this early necessarily. Hope baby stays in a while longer for you

I agree with

I think you should get it checked tonight x
