Sensitive "Irritable" Uterus ?!?!

During my previous two pregnancies I had extremely horrible cramping.  I have not made it to full term, but I can only imagine they were similar to contractions.  They come on and are crippling in pain for 10-15 minutes then subside to dull aching... last pregnancy it happened maybe once or twice a day.  US were always OK and despite multiple ER trips I would come home being told everything was fine.  After my missed MC last year I spoke to my OB about the pain and she said I may just have a sensitive uterus. 

I did some research and came across the term "irritable" uterus.  I'm 7W and the cramping is starting- it's not as severe as it has been, but it's letting me know it's coming and it scares the crap out of me.  No one seems too concerned so I know I probably shouldn't be, but the pain is so intense it seems like it's impossible it is "normal." 

Does anyone have any experience with this and what helps?  When does it go away?

    I had irritable uterus with DS. I ended up in triage at 28 weeks and 30 weeks thinking I was in labor. The pain was excruciating. It resulted in weekly NST's and progesterone shots. Mine started around 20 weeks. I think it's starting much earlier this time though since Ive been in a pretty good amount of pain today that resulted in a trip to the dr for an ultrasound.
    It's hard because you don't know whether to ignore it or consider it labor. I was on edge 24/7.
    Good luck!

    I'm sorry you're starting to get the pain. It's scary. There is some comfort in knowing it's not hurting the baby, but yikes- it hurts
