I only had a really small amount of mucus with a dot of pinkish blood in it and DD2 was born 22.5 hours later. I know everyone has different experiences though. Never can be to careful. With the pains staying regular then I would heading for the hospital, better to be there and fine then at home and worrying.
Good luck with it all.
Midwife said it sounds like transition I have to go in when they average 2 mins or still going in an hour

Well im officially a stalker lol!!
Pls keep us updated if thats possible and you feel upto it.. Gl babe i hope this is just usual wear and tear of pregnancy and seeing your carrying not one but two, this is just a case of too little space..

I cant see how far along you are cause im on my phone, but did someone say youre only 31 weeks?
I wonder why the middy didnt get you to come in now? That concerns me
Registered User
me too!!!! IF (big IF) you are in early stages of labour they can help prolong it but more importantly they can administer steroids for your precious bubs lungs! If it were me, I'd go in anyway... but if you feel comfortable at home then trust your instincts

Stalking too....!
I would head in to be checked. You are only 31 weeks, those boys need some more baking before coming out of the oven. As PP's have said, better safe than sorry.
I've already had the steroids a few weeks ago.me too!!!! IF (big IF) you are in early stages of labour they can help prolong it but more importantly they can administer steroids for your precious bubs lungs! If it were me, I'd go in anyway... but if you feel comfortable at home then trust your instincts
Once you meet this mw it's no wonder I had to wait she was rude, pushy and not connected to her job at all.
She sent me home didn't check dilation or anything pretty much summed up I wasn't in labour because I wasn't in agonizing pain.
Well silly mw why is it 4.30am and I can't sleep from these regular intense crampings and have lots of pressure around my vagina and bum area.
Think once the suns up I'll drop the kids next door and go back in as the arrogant one should have finished her shift.
The cramps aren't really painful though they have stepped up I haven't been timing anymore but can tell they are still averaging around 3-3.5 mins they go a little longer now too and I've had to get on all 4s and rock and breathe through a couple which I never remember having to do with Braxton hicks.
This is so confusing! Why can't we have a labour pee stick test?!

That could be the case too nothing got explained to me, it's just weird I would have regular crampings that are effecting my sleep unless I forgot this part of previous pregnancies.
Is it weird to say I feel "things" going on down there? Like weird sensation like things are going on I can't explain

Don't you hate how they use pain as an indication on IF something is happening, or if the machine picks up the tightens.
Being that I'm a real big girl the top top of my belly didnt get much action and I felt everything in my back *same as the last TWO labours* so i never showed much on that stupid machine.
We know our bodies and we know when something is going on, we might not know exactly what is happening but that is why we ask and advice of what's happening.
I hope the next midwife checks you out properly!!!

Urg I'm so glad you are going back in there - definitely sounds like something is happening.
Fwiw - I never had to rock through a BH, but I did have to through contractions!!
I can't walk through them anymore (was hanging onto the tv a min ago) they have certainly stepped up in intensity not feeling it too much in my back though but I didn't with DS or DD1 either just DD2.
Hope I don't make DH take a day off for pre labour but I wouldn't be getting BHs so often would I?

Braxton Hicks should have stopped by now... and if that stupid midwife checked you out... well actually she would have had to get a doctor to do it because your before 34 weeks... you'd know if you were getting somewhere with all these horrid tightens... surely the fact that they have been hanging around for more than 12 hours is a sign SOMETHING should be looked into
They are def getting stronger just had one that almost took my breath away and now typically since I posted a few mins ago feeling it more in my back.
Also feeling quite wet down there but cant pee, could that be a slow leak? I wouldn't know I've either had them broken or got the pop n gush

With a leak they say lay down for 30-60 minutes then when you get up if your leaking there will be a mini gush. Make sure you put a pad on to catch any so you can gauge how much and show midwife.
