Irritable Uterus?

[JennaJayen]

just saw this thread hun, I had it with both of mine, with DS all it did was make me rush to hospital 10+ times because we thought I was in preterm labour lol, in the end he didn't even want to come out at all.

with DD it caused pre-term contractions at 21wks which thankfully stopped after around 6 hours before we had to go to hospital, but for the next week I lost bits of the plug. I also had 3 weeks of constant irregular contractions (pre-labour) before DD was born as well.
Ironically the one thing that I found that really helped was Raspberry leaf tablets/tea (which was odd as the RLT is supposed to cause small uterine muscle contractions to help tone the uterus, can't take it before 28 weeks though), it calmed down the BH's and irregular contractions and I believe it helped them to actually do what they were supposed to and help me dilate which I never did without medical intervention with DS.
Hope it's taking it easy on you hun xx

and they also said that DS was 3kg at our 33wk scan with him and I didn't have GD and he was only 8pd 3 lol

Yep, I had that too. I had BH from about 24 weeks.

They were painful. After DTD I was nearly in tears as my stomach would tighten so much.
