Some Advise Please!
Hi Ladies could do with a bit of advise,
Im 32+3 with my second child first was 12 days late at 5lb 14oz, everything fine, now im a bit worried went for a scan on wednesday and they confirmed baby was small again but in proportion so nothing to worry about have just been told to expect my new little girl to be about the same size as baba 1. Only thing is ive been having signs of labour i had a show on Sunday mentioned this and they have put me on strict rest not to do anything to strenuos (like that can happen with a 19 month old i tow lol). Anyway started getting really bad backache yesterday and been having what im going to describe as Braxton Hicks only very painful ones coming 6 to 8 times within an hour this happens for a couple of hours then stops then the early hours of this morning i got a really unexpected bout of diahorrea (this happened just before i went in labour with my daughter ) and again all day today ive had the tightenings and acheing back. Should i be concerned? Do you think it could be the start of labour ? Was only told by hospital to go in if i had contractions or fluid loss which i dont think i have but obviously dont want to leave it too late for them to stop it if it is labour, Do you know of anyone who went over with first then had prem second time? been told your normally about the same with second babies thanks for listening to me rant hope i have made sence and not ranted too much Sophie 32+3 xx

I only have experience of going into labour very prem with my 1st (at 23 weeks) and since then I've had sutures put in to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Are you getting the pains regularly now? I know you said they were 6-8 times per hour, but is that every hour or are they stopping in between? If so, it wouldn't look like established laobur.
I was given a card with Tommy's midwives number on it in my Bounty pack, for any pregnancy related query - have you got one? If you want it, leave me a message back and I'll go dig it out for you.
Hope you're ok hon - keep us posted

As for your oh, make sure you don't do ANYTHING!! Make the most of it - it won't last after lo appears.

How are things now with you?
I haven't been in your situation before as this is my 1st baby but I can understand your worry as i've been told my baby is very small & underweight so I know what it's like to be worrying. The only thing I can say is if the baby does arrive early then the special care units are outstanding & your 33 weeks which isn't too bad.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you that all goes smoothly & that your LO stays where she is but if your at all worried get your arse to hospital!
