A LONG, POSSIBLY SILLY QUESTION-
A LONG, POSSIBLY SILLY QUESTION-
Okay, so, I was at the hospital for a separate reason last night and as always they put me on the ctg. I noticed I was getting some tightenings and every time the midwife came to look at it she would pull a face and tell me I was being left on the monitor for a bit longer. In the end I was on the monitor for around an hour and having tightenings every 3-4 minutes. Some of them were very uncomfortable and they ranged from about 40-70 on the monitor.
The doctors examined me and agreed that my cervix was still closed and they couldn't see any other signs. I also had a negative fibronectin test. The doctor did say though, that if I go into labour in the next 5 days I'll have to be transferred to another hospital nearly 2 hours away as I'm 35+2.
My question is, does anyone else have any similar experiences to this? Do you find that these regular contractions were slow early labour or just a coincidence? Any input appreciated! 😊

I had something similair to this. I went to hospital at 33 weeks with tightenings and had a positive fibronectin test. I had to stay in hospital for a couple of days and get steroid shots just in case baby decided to come. Contractions slowed right down the next day and stopped the day after.
So i was discharged and didnt go into labour. But did have 2 false alarms after that.
I was induced at 40 weeks xx

It's so weird isn't it! I'm still having them this morning ( less intense but definitely there). I'm glad I'm seeing my midwife tomorrow xx

it is weird hun it plays with your head. If they do get more intense and more frequent its best to get checked xx
