Irritable Uterus

ceechie

Any one else experiencing irritable uterus? I had it with my first two babies but now with twins it's showing up at only 21 weeks prego. It puts me to bed every night at 6:00. And with a 4 y.o. And 18 mos old, I'm lucky I married a saint.
Love to hear if anyone's dr's were more proactive at treatment. I just take to my bed when it acts up....

I was diagnosed with IU after my first NST at 32 weeks revealed 9 contractions in 50 minutes. I thought it was baby movement! My MFM measured my cervix via t/v ultrasound and recommended that my OB start doing manual checks from that point forward. 

I would definitely talk to your OB/MFM and get his/her input. Hope things settle down!

  I also have Interstitial cystitis.  It was horrible while being pregnant.  I can't imagine having an IU.

Mine started at 27 weeks. I was put on modified bed rest and told to drink a lot of fluid. I hope yours eases up!

I mentioned to the ob I saw on my last appt that it was happening but felt really blown off... Seeing my regular ob next week who I just like better and seems more concerned in general. I just don't want to go into preterm labor and be put on full bed rest!!!

My IU shortened my cervix, so I was put on modified bed rest and given Procardia to reduce their intensity. I found warm baths really helped.
