need advice

ok so I just turned 31 weeks two days ago and lost my mucous plug two days ago since then I have had contractions on and off they arent consisitent also I have been having extreme pressure when I sit or stand I think my hips spread even more because they are more sore than they have been and I have been having pain where my cervix is so i dont know if I am dilating or what I called my doctor and she is just worried about the contractions...i dont know what to do obviously bed rest is not working please give me any type of advice

hun well ok you are 31 weeks now and surely your doctor should be doing more.......you have been having these contractions for a good few weeks now......and you have also had a ''show'' the plug of mucus has came away.......i would really recommend you ask your doctor to send you to hospital just to check everything is ok....even for your own piece of mind hun....hope everything goes ok keep us posted if possible TAKE CARE xxxxxxxx

I have to agree with saraho, got to the hospital and find out if everything is ok.....

hugs xxxxx

yeah but my contractions are inconsistent and if I drink 3 glasses of water they go away but I dunno I dont remember it being painful to dilate during my last pregnancy and The pain in my cervix didnt happen until i talked to my doctor I see her this thursday so i dont know if I should wait until then or what

hun if you are not happy and you are worried please dont leave it untill thursday......go get checked out please.......thinking of you xxxxx

hope everything is ok please go hospital just incase at least they will be able to give u more advise

how did you get on with the doctor on thursday??????

well i got sent back to work I dont know if I agree with that decision.... I got reemed by my boss for coming back to work and after I got off work yesterday my body was so soar... My contractions started up again and I finally got them to stop after drinking a couple bottles of water and I passed out directly afterwards because I was so exausted I dunno what to do i dont even want to go back to work tomorrow because I had such a bad day my boss told me to my face I have no common sense and must not care for my unborn baby since I was coming back... I love my unborn child and I wouldnt want anything to happen to him my kids are my life so her saying that really upset me I just dont know what to do I am thinking about quiting I cant handle everyone looking down on me for coming back even though I was just following doctors orders

I would hav given my boss the doctors number and told him to phone the doctor and ask what he was playing at, i am not sure where you live but i think your doctor is totally mad......

I would advice you to see a diffferent doctor.....

look after yourself.....but get this sorted as it's not good for you hun xxxxx

take care

yes i totally agree with loudun .... go see another doctor if possible good luck xxx

yeah but since I am 8 months I am afraid that no other doctor will take me

but surely you can go see another doctor just for a second opinion ... its worth a try hun xxxx

yeah all i know is if I come home today in as much pain as I was in yesterday then I am calling my doctor and telling her I physically cant do this because after having 8 contractions in an hour yesterday I passed out I was physically exausted I woke up physically exausted soar all over and with a migrane and if she still does not do anything about it then I am looking into switching doctors

ohh good on you hun hope it goes ok xx

I really do hope your doctor does something for you.....

WHere do you live?

what kind of job do you do??

thanks
lesley

yeah keep us updated hun xxx

yeah so my doctor wont do anything...I cant switch doctors because I am 8 months

What about going directly to the hospital, and try to get checked? At least then you'll know that everything is ok.

yeah that sounds like a good idea .....not sure where you are but surely you could go straight to the hospital its worth a try hun xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I might because my sons activity has decreased I havent really felt him move and when he does move it feels faint

yeah good idea hun you go get checked out good luck xx

It could be because he hasnt got any room left to move hun ...

if you are worried check it out .. at least it will put your mind at rest ... xx

How u feeling now hun

Your bump looks very tight..Like Hannah says,he has limited room to move now. In all my pregnancies when it reached to around 32 weeks..the movements were less and less

Hi,
Have you contacted your community midwife to ask for some advice?
Other things besides labour can cause pain...ie water infection. It might be worth you ringing the hospital and asking for some advice there but I would try your community midwife first.
