I was told with DS around 28wks that it looked like I had an irritable uterus as when I get BH they feel and act like contractions. I got them from 15wks onwards with DS, almost constantly, though I only went to the emergency department when they got really really bad and painful.
The reason why I was told I had an irritable uterus was because when I went into Emergency around 28wks, they sent a midwife down who put her hand on my belly for 15mins straight while emergency was going through all my details with hubby, and she said my whole belly went solid 6 times while she had her hand on it, yet wen I went onto the monitor up on the ward a short time later, I was only having very very tiny regular contractions that could only just be picked up on th monitor, they were that weak.
It was like that up until I was induced.
I'm getting them again already, every day for most of the day, and worse than they were with DS, but I think that may also have something to do with the fact that bub is sitting right at the back of my uterus and because I had a C-sec with DS.
I know I don't have it as bad as you do now, and you have soooo many other issues that are getting in the way as well, and the stress and worry probably isn't helping at all, but I just thought I would share what I went through as well
