Short back story, had a cs in Sept last yr due to dd2 being discovered breech during early labour. 3 months later I was pg again and started to weigh up my options for VBAC/ELCS.
I chose to have an ELCS as I felt this was the better option for me. Plus, I've gone overdue with both my previous pg (i know this is no guarantee that I will again) and that would mean another section anyway. It's taken me arguing with the consultant mw, 2 different consultants but I finally got the green light from the consultant I'm now seeing and she has agreed that my arguments are well considered and I'm not just choosing a section because I had one last time.
I'm now 32+5 and yesterday I did my weekly shop and it felt like I had a bowling ball between my legs. It honestly felt like I'd either crapped my pants or the head was actually in between my legs.
All last night I was having what I would call, small contractions/braxton hicks. Not painful but noticeable and very very uncomfortable.
This morning I've had two pains, one like a dull achey period type pain all over my scar area (never had an issue with the scar during this pg) and 2 quite painful braxton hicks. Plus quite a few tightenings.
Should I start monitoring these now or just let it pass as I probably just did too much yesterday with the shopping and then mw in the afternoon?
