I am 34 weeks pregnant and have been having contractions/tightening since Sunday.My doctor says unless they are about 5minutes apart, there is nothing that is to be done.The pain comes every 10 to 20 minutes and believe me, it is no Braxton Hicks.I have a cervical stitch in place and is to be removed at 37 weeks.What do i do? I dont know how much longer i can endure this.My waters have not yet broken and there is no blood.
Hi there, Since you are having regular contractions, you need to get examined by a doctor, especially sine you have the stitch. If the pain is present for some time it could indicate that you may be in labor. Then the stitch will have to be removed immediately as it can tear the cervix. It is also necessary that you get examined to see if there is any infection or not, for which specific medicine will need to be given.Also, you need to take steroid injection for maturity of the babies lungs, (if you indeed are in labor). Do not neglect these pains. Hope this helps.
