Default Irritable Uterus

Has anyone had an irritable uterus? My doctor told me that my uterus was
irritable, not sure if that's the same thing. What was it like for you? My
contractions were coming every two minutes, and Procardia has brought them
to a hault for now. They felt like my uterus was getting very tight,
sometimes it would have an almost "burning" sensation to it. It was coupled
with cramping. Now that the contractions have ceased, my uterus feels very
sore, like it's had the workout of it's life.

I had it with my 2nd. It was discovered when I was having weekly Non Stress
Tests. My Dr thinks it was from being GBS +. I was given antibiotics for
10 days and it stopped, but when the medicine was done, it came back. I
personally never felt it.

Default Irritable Uterus

I had it in my pg, but I also have an irritable bladder and irritable bowel
too so it didn't come as a surprise to me. I started contractions at 25
weeks (about every 7 minutes) and was on bed rest and terbutaline until 36
weeks at which point I thought I'd go in to labor spontaneously. I
delivered a healthy (big 8lb 14oz) girl 2 days before my EDD but spent the 4
weeks prior to that having pretty regular and painful ctx (but with no
cervical change until the week prior to my delivery). Mine felt like the
pain you get when constipated - in fact when it started that's what I
thought it was. When I called my OB and described the pain she sent me to
L&D triage and I got monitored. Major PIA and is the one thing that is
making me hesitate to get pg with my second. Good luck. I hope you are
able to get some answers. Are you going to switch from your insensitive
doctor to a new one??

I don't know anything about irritable uterus - I'm just sooo happy they
managed to stop the contractions. :-) I hope the pain goes away soon.

I have a sensitive uterus that contract's as soon as you look at it, I
don't like to think of it as irritable though, a little grumpy maybe.
What you described sounds like what I would call braxton hicks for me,
but that doesn't mean they are for you. My twins were my 8th pregnancy
so I was well used to knowing what was a real contraction and what was a
practice contraction. All I can say is if in doubt get it checked, I
can't think of anything worse than ignoring them only to find out you
have dilated to 5 cm's and there's no going back.
I'm pleased things have settled down, make sure you get lots of rest
now, and don't forget that protein and water!

I had it with both pregnancies. It started at 7 mos with #1 and at 6
months with #2. I was on bedrest and pain meds. It hurt almost all
day everyday. It ended when the pregnancy ended.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I haven't had a GBS test yet.

It's great to know that a happy ending is possible, unlike what my doctor
said. Thanks so much! I can understand your hesitation to try again.

I am trying to get a referral to another doctor, but so far no luck. I'm
not giving up though!

Thanks!! They pain is mostly gone, but I think it's from the Nifedipine
(Procardia.)
