PLEASE DON’T THINK IM STUPID
Morning everyone, hope this is the start of a very productive week.
I am not a first time mother, I have a 2 year old.
I’m currently 40+2 and since 3am I’ve been having pains right in my abdomen and sometimes lower back, pain comes and goes. I’m not sure if it’s contractions.
With my daughter my water broke and 2 hours later I had her but this seems to be different. I haven’t been able to get much sleep because the pain is unnoticed.
I tested positive with GBS and have to get antibiotics during labour once my water breaks. I don’t know if I should call triage and see if I need to go in as I am not sure where’ve this is contractions or not and want the try and get the full 4 hours of the antibiotics before I have the baby.
The reason I’m saying no one should think I’m stupid is because I’m not sure if these are contractions or not.
Any help pls.

@zhara01, I had the same problem when I was pregnant with trying to find someone to have my toddler. I would ring triage first and just see what they have to say. If they want you to come in just explain you will need to find someone to have her and they will be very understanding x
@kayteamay, thanks, I do want to call and get checked but I’m with my toddler and will have to try and get cover for her before making any calls in case they tell me to go in and when I go in I’m scared they won’t let me out lol
Have you been timeing them? If they are becoming more frequent longer and more intense then its defiantly contractions x
If you feel you need to be checked over then go. There’s no harm in it. And you aren’t being stupid don’t worry xx
I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what!
Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful?
I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.
Having some pretty intense constant lower back pain and maybe super light contractions. But can't tell because the back pain is way over powering contractions so I'm walking around my room to see if they get worse.
I do love the way people say you will know when your in labour and having contractions well I will be honest I didn't know and my pains weren't that severe till I was fully dilated I'm sure everyone has different pain levels
My waters just broke ?
Hi mummy's I just had a pop n gush of water how long was it till u started having contractions I called hospital n they want me in to check me I only have slight period pain at moment
is it possible to have contractions without pain? my stomach gets really tight alot, but I have no pains.
Because your gbs+ id call and see what they want you to do, second labours can progress very quickly trust me, my first labour was 27hrs and my second was 2hrs! Also are they getting more intense or does the position your in change them at all? X
