just wondered if anyone could give some perspective?!
im 31 weeks pregnant with my second child...
so on sunday i had a bloody awful 24hr bug along with the usual sympoms i had some really nasty cramping pains and incredable back pain,i had a midwife app booked for monday anyway so i waited and went to see her then,
when i arrived she checked me over and then sent me to the nearest major hospital,
they hooked me up to a fetal monitor and did a fibrocentesis(??!!) test to see if i was in labour,all was well baby looked happy although the doctor mentioned my bp was up and said my meds should be put up (im not on any?!!!) that freaked me out a bit!
so today im still having those cramps, they're actually a
bit worse, what do i do?is it nothing?!
sorry about the utter rambling!

How often are they coming? Are they settling into a regualar pattern? Are you needing to take painkillers to cope with them? Do you have any loss from down below? If the answer to any of those is yes, I would ring your maternity unit to be checked over. Did they take a urine sample to send of for a water infection?
Is your blood pressure still raised? Have they given you any medication? What was the reading and did you have any protein in your urine? Sorry, lots of questions I know!
