Early contrctions

[chloecorey]

This is my first ever post, I'm 29 weeks tomorrow and just got out I the hospital yesterday after having early contractions. We were really scared but very things fine just support seeking really. Absolutely paranoid about any little pain and don't want to over react by ringing at every little twige. Also scared of having sex again lol don't know what responses i looking for, just wanted to post

its always best to ring the midwife or antenatal if you are worried, they don't mind honestly . its what they are there for. better to be safe than sorry.

have a sit down with a and and just take it easy, and if you don't want to have sex again until after the babies born then don't. you have to do whatever makes you feel most relaxed as stress won't help.

good luck!

I was admitted for a couple of days at 23 weeks with 5-minute apart contractions. Nothing came of it, my cervix stayed closed, and everything has settled down completely now. I'm at the same stage as you, and everything's fine.

Mine were caused by fibroids, so I've been warned that it might happen again, and that I could actually go into labour at any time, but the consultant doesn't want to see me again until 36 weeks so they're clearly not that worried!

It's scary, isn't it? But I'm sure they said to you when they discharged you that you can call if anything worries you. They meant it. The midwife who discharged me said that she'd always rather you go in and have nothing wrong than not go in and risk it.

complete bed rest!!!!

Aw thank you for the replies and I think I'll give midwife a phone tomorrow I'm probably just worrying myself over nothing and Toby , it's scary isn't it I was the same and my cervix was closed too my tummy keeps going tight so I'm just mega paranoid.
