Hi guys,
On Thursday morning at 3.10am I woke up with terrible pains in my stomach which I simply put down to Braxton Hicks and thought no more about about it but by 5.10am this pains were coming every 10-12mins for about 30-40 secs apart so decided to have a warm bath to see if this would ease the pain. It took it off slightly and baby was still moving so again thought great. Also on getting out of the bath sorry possibly TMI but had diarrohoa following by a yellowish discharge.
Got back to sleep at 6.00am approx then woke again at 7am still in slight pain with this tightenings... they seemed to go off for about 1hr and then restarted.
I called the matenity unit at 11.00am and explained what was happening including the bowel movement and discharge and was asked to go to hospital to be checked over.
Was monitored for almost 2 hours and given an internal which was sooooooo painful and then told that I was going to be admitted to hospital for 24 hours obs and given the steriod injection to help develop babies lungs but needed two injections 24 hours apart if baby didn't come or 12 hours apart if he did.
I saw the consultant who said that if I did go into labour they will not attempt to stop it and let the baby come which did shock me a little to be honest.
I over the past 24 hours have continued and still am getting these pains but glad to be home and I have just got to keep an eye on the situation if they get worse then need to return to the hospital as the midwife said "you have a prem baby onboard"!!! if my waters go also I m to return immediately or any of the usual stuff associated with labour symtoms.
This may seem a very unusual thing to ask but has anyones waters NOT broken but been admitted to hospital at approx 34 weeks had the steroid injection to cover babys lungs and then gone on full term?? or is it more probable to have baby early.
Sorry for being a pain in the backside but now totally freaked out!
Hope you all well
Take care
