Irritable uterus

CrystalDaunCrystalDaun
in 3rd Trimester

I have been going weekly to the dr. to be checked for preterm labor. I had to go today, he said 4 more weeks of tests (ffn & internals) and then no more internals until 37 weeks (thank God!). Today I was doubled over in pain and DH dropped DD off at my MIL's & went to work. At least this happened just an hour & a half prior to my dr.'s appointment. I told him everything and now he thinks I have an irritable uterus.

Anyone else been told they have this? I didn't go through this with DD.

    I got a lot of BH earlier on and my OB told me I just had an irritated uterus. She never really made a big deal though or made me come in. I just figured my uterus took after its owner Stick out tongue

    I am irritable with my uterus.  Does that count?

    Seriously though, I have heard of this.  Hope somebody can answer your question.

    LOL, you made me chuckle! I'm irritated with mine too! Apparently it's just as sick of me.

    Um, that would be me.  I started having BH at 17 weeks, no biggie since they were sporadic. Yesterday I worked a 12 hr shift and came home and had 10 BH in an hour.  Had an appointment today and that got me put on work restrictions (no more than 8 hours per shift) and weekly progesterone injections until 37 weeks.  Sucks!! I was told I shouldn't be having more than 4 BH an hour.  Hopefully the progesterone kicks in quickly and they can lift my work restrictions.

    Yes, that is the term my doctor used with me.  I am on modified bedrest to reduce contaction.  When my doctor first told me I chuckled - I thought it was the baby being anxious to arrive, but no, its just my irritable uterus..

    i have IU too.  if i called every time i had too many BH, i would be there every other day.  i'm not saying this is right or others should do the same.  i just feel like i know what's normal for my body now and why i sometimes have too many (need more fluids, usually).  it's probably going to confuse me in the end though, b/c i won't be paying as much attention to when i should really go in.  good luck.  lots of fluids and call your doc if you feel like something is not right.
