Hi everyone

Does anyone have any experience of an irritable uterus?

I am 31 wks preg with twins and getting what I can only presume are BH contractions, but the issue is that they are frequent and regular. I don't have any other major symptoms of pre-term labour (ie no show, no fluid, no bleeding and only very mild 'period' type pain and back pain).

I was in hosp for 4 days about a fortnight ago because of these contractions, and have been on modified bedrest since coming home. The contractions are still coming thick and fast though - I am not counting every single one throughout the day and night, but I am counting for about 3 hours each day, and I am generally having between 8 and 10 an hour.

The midwife at the hospital said it's very likely I have an irritable uterus. I've looked this up, and it does sound like what I'm experiencing.

My question is I suppose, has anyone else been diagnosed with this, how was it treated, and did you carry to term?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Jen
