More BH after pelvic exam?

I had my 36 week apt today, while there I had the group B strep test and pelvic exam.  Since I  have been home I have had a lot more BH than usual.  I have been home for a few hours but only started timing them within the last hr, they started around 30 sec every 11-13 min, but have been increasing up to almost a minute long and the last one was just 8 mins after.  What the heck.  I am wondering am I just too stressed, because I made a few calls regarding insurance and bills issues I have been dealing with, or did the exam mess with me a bit.

Re: More BH after pelvic exam?

  • I would say its probably a combination of both. Usually I get a little more crampy and have BH after an internal. and if your stressing yourself out the BH will be worst.

  • I had a cervical exam today and I went home, started stressing out a little because they scheduled an induction for next week and the bh picked up a bit. I was having them regularly until I drank a bunch of water and took a nap. I woke up and they had stopped. Typically I do get more after an exam... Just try to relax!
