Hi guys

Well I ended up in Hossy being monitored last night as I had noticed that suddenly my feet and hands had swollen up to double there size. My DH freaked out and told me to ring the midwive's. After a couple of questions realised i had also been having terrible headaches and almost fainted a couple of times in the last few days as well. I had just put that down to sleep deprivation.

Anyway BP normal, no protien in urine so not PE thankfully!! But then while monitoring my contractions were measuring up to about 80 (no idea if this is high or not but they normally sit at 18) and i started talking to the midwife about the excruiciating BH i have been having for weeks. I had spoken to my OB about this before and basically he made me feel like i was being a wous and BH don't hurt that much. But when these contractions come on i have to grab on to something and change my breathing they hurt so much.

My contractions are irregular so midwife said not in labour but you probably have an irritable uterus, talk to your ob about it more next week when you see him. So now i feel like I have no information.

I have googled it and seem to describe what i have been experiencing to a tea. Has anyone else had this? Has it brought on early labour? how did you manage the pain, cos panadol does nothing.

Thanks sorry for rambling
