Contracting at 29 wks??? UPDATED AT BOTTOM

Sat morning woke up at 4am with horrible AF kind of cramps every 5 minutes, At first I thought maybe it could be gas pains. Nope. I can def tell the difference with these. So I called the dr he said that if he continues that I am to go to the hospital immediatley but they stopped. They came back today. I have to call for an appt first thing in the morning on Mon he said if it is to come back. Any idea on what happened? Is this what Braxton Hicks feels like or is it something else? Whats the dr gonna do to me tomorrow ? Im nervous......Chat Icon

Could be Braxton Hicks. Make sure you rest a lot & drink PLENTY of fluids. Dehydration can bring on contractions.

Re: Contracting at 29 wks???

I started contracting at 28 weeks. They said that my uterus was sensitive. Everytime I felt it, I went into the drs to be monitored, and then they sent me to the hospital. They were real contractions. I had to have a shot to stop them either 2 or 3 times. I also was given a test to determine if I may go into labor within the next two weeks (FFN). After I believe 34 weeks, they did not give the shot anymore because the baby was okay to come. I ended up having my son on his due dateChat Icon

I have gotten BH a couple of times but it did not feel like AF cramps, just like a tightening sensation. Make sure you are drinking enough and as per my doctors orders if it happens 6 or more times in an hour call dr and go to L&D.

I am A okay!! Chat Icon Cervix is closed which the exam did not hurt at all. I was shocked. If I get another 4 in 1 hr I am to go straight to the hospital but hopefully I won't have to do that. Bed rest for 1 wk though UGH! Chat Icon
