Irritable Uterus?

I have been cramping since 6 weeks and it's now every night with some very light spotting. I talked to my midwife last night and she seems to think I have an irritable uterus. I will discuss more at our next appt however in the meantime I did Google and from what I have read a lot of ppl don't get it till they are further in 2nd tri/3rd tri. It worries me that I may have it so early and that the cramping has increased. Has anyone had any experience with this?
Re: Irritable Uterus?
It can be very painful but I was told endlessly by my OB that it was perfectly safe as long as I was monitored, just a huge painful inconvenience. Lots and lots of water and taking it easy will help. I was allowed to work as long as I stayed seated (Im a teacher, not easy).
Since you're so early I would just wait and see what happens. It's very normal to cramp this early in pregnancy. I too have had a lot of spotting and red blood that turned out ok. I didn't have spotting when I had irritable uterus.
Midwife also said Bc I'm still so early (10ish weeks) we will just wait and see what happens.
From what I read they don't change the cervix but yeah they are painful and annoying. They start late afternoon/into the evening every day so that's why she is thinking irritable uterus.
