Ever since my OB appointment on Tuesday and the attempted ECV, things seem to have changed, the Nifedipine isn't working as well, I have been on 80-100mg (slow release form) for the afternoon evening and it isn't giving me much relief at all. I was on 40-60mg per day prior to Tuesday, and was coping a lot better.
The underside of my belly is very sore and I am more uncomfortable, my belly is rock hard and my lower back is constantly aching. It didn't used to start until 4-5pm, but since Tuesday midday/1pm is when it is all happening
During the ECV my OB had to stop as I was contracting, but she hasn't felt what my tummy goes like in the late afternoon or evening, when it goes very hard constantly, which is why I am on the Nifedipine. Thoughts have been I may have an irritable uterus.
With DD I never felt ctx in my belly as she was posterior so it was lower back pain.
I am hoping that it is just BH's still, but I don't know what ctx at the front actually feel like, or by the time I would have been getting them I was pushing and my mind was on other pain
I am going to try taking the Nifepdipine first thing in the morning rather than at lunch time and see if it keep the pain at bay, but if it doesn't work tomorrow I think I will give my OB a call and chat to the MW.
I haven't had any period type cramping which is making me think it isn't ctx that are doing something "major".
