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. |

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. Sophie #4 due 7/18/04 |

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?? CY "Crystal Dreamer" wrote in message news:06h9c.109563$po.779438@attbi_s52... Has anyone had an irritable uterus?

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. Cam --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.588 / Virus Database: 372 - Release Date: 13/02/2004 |

Has anyone had an irritable uterus? 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! Andrea |

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! |
