Irritable uterus?

Is this an actual condition, or a more casual description of BH prone uteruses? I'm wondering if it applies to me -- lately I have a BH contraction whenever I pee (after, not before). I don't have any signs of a UTI....Anyone heard of this happening?

Re: Irritable uterus?

  • I do the same thing. Lately it's getting worse they are now happening when I change positions (ie stand up!) I have never heard of an irritable uterus though. I'll have to talk to my doctor about it.

  • IU is actually more like constant, but inconsistent BH.  The docs I've talked to about it aren't as worried about the BH that come on before or after bathroom breaks or the BH that are tied to movement.  I have BH frequently when I am just sitting with my feet up watching TV.  I get BH when I watch a dramatic movie, when I get angry or sad, when I get hungry, just pretty much all the time!  I was diagnosed with IU when I had a bout of all night contractions at 16w.  They didn't really hurt, but I could definitely feel them.
