What happens if you take a panadol and lay down and rest? That was advised to me. Plenty of fluids (because dehydration can make it worse) and rest. FX it doesn't last seven weeks. Let us know how you go.

I had found previously that magnesium helped but not sure it is helping now. Will get some calcium as well. I am drinking heaps of water. Rest has no effect and panadol only helps with the pain, the tightening stays and the pain returns when the dose wears off. I had a warm shoer with water onto my back which seemed to help but they came back a few minutes in. It is sort of ahrd to get around even with the pain controlled as the abdomen is so stiff!

Have you called your MW or spoken to the hospital? Second pregnancies can be quite different from first pregnancies and BH stronger than anticipated. Either way, the hossie might give you some advice or instructions.

Yeah pg #2 was 6 weeks but not so much pain, this is bubs #3... haven't spoken to a midwife (at all, our hospital system hey!)

OK... who is your care provider? Perhaps just give them a call

Sorry for brevity before I was feeding bub. You can get the calc mag powder is that what you had before?
Registered User
No worries about brevity- i understand! I will give someone(maybe delivery ward at hospital?) a call if things don't settle down soon and if they have no worries I will get some of the calc mag powder tomorrow, I have just been taking mixed magnesium capsules which I had thought were working....but not now...
