I am 34+3. First baby. Sure of dates.
I am due to have an elective C/S - booked for 7 May when I will be 38+1 - because of previous Ashermans syndrom and placental concerns.
On Monday night I had about 4 hours worth of strongish tightenings, occuring even at rest. These felt a bit like Braxton Hicks but more so, if you know what I mean. I was concerned that things were happening as they were quite regular - lasting 30-60 secs, perhaps every 5 mins. I eventually got to sleep and it seemed to pass by the morning. But since then I have been feeling really uncomfortable. Strong feeling of pressure whenever I stand up and variably strong tightenings. Some of these are really quite uncomfortable. They are much worse whenever I walk or do anything active. I also feel very 'nervous' and butterflies, for no particular reason.
This isn't prem labour yet I'm sure, but do you reckon it is getting started? I wonder if I have irritable uterus. Perhaps everyone gets this, this is the first time I have been here so I don't know what is normal!
What are the chances of lasting another 4 weeks? I think probably I won't...
I would rather not have the baby just yet, it still seems a tad early (although everything I have read says that 34+ is generally absolutely fine), but I would be very glad not to be pregnant any more!
