irritable uterus

LittleNugget93

I was diagnosed with an irritable uterus after going into early labor last week. I am 33 weeks and was 32 weeks when I was in the hospital. I know that this puts me at risk of delivering my LO early so I was wondering if any of you ladies had IU and delivered early or delivered full term.

I had it.  Started having regular contractions at 32 weeks (every 8-10 minutes all day long, sometimes every 4-5 minutes).  Delivered at 35 weeks. 

 

ETA: Started having BH at 18 weeks, too.

I had it, but a milder case of it. My cervix started shortening at 24 weeks, but not enough to be put on bed rest, and I had contractions on and off from 17 weeks on. I ended up having a RCS at 40 weeks exactly because my body was still closed up like Fort Knox in terms of dilation, lol!

That's what MFM called it when I was hospitalized for feelign pressure and cervix was shortening and I also had funneling at 21 weeks. I was on SBR from then on and went to 39w4d with DD. Sending you t&p's that LO will stay put for several more weeks til term.

I had it, starting around 20 weeks. Was in the hospital at 22 weeks with contractions thought they were BH and started taking procardia to help was also on prog shots. Delivered at 38 weeks 5 days. Good luck, and lots of good thoughts for you and your little one.

I had it starting around 27 weeks and was put on magnesium pills and an herbal medication (byrophyllum, I think it was called). I delivered at 34w1d, but that was due to HELLP and not to the IU. FWIW, my second pregnancy to make it to term I had no IU.
