im 33+3 days pregnant, i had a bit of scare last night i started having what i thought were Braxton Hicks while out shopping in Hanley they then started coming more frequently and with back pain. I called the hospital when they were coming every 4 minutes and had to make my way up to be checked out. I was feeling very emotional about it all although i did still manage enough organised thought to pack my mascara (just in case :)).

Basically baby seems happy they think i've got ANOTHER infection which is making my uterus contract, but luckily my cervix is still closed so they have prescribed complete bed rest (easier said than done with a 2 yr old at home!) and i was given a steriod injection last night (rather painful) and i had to go back today for another to help mature the babys lungs just in case.

The contractions stopped coming regularly around 2.30am still getting the odd one now and again but feeling more comfortable. Just got to wait for the test results to come back and hope the ricicle decides to stay put in the mean time.

This pregnancy seems to have been plagued with problems but once my little bundle arrives i'm sure it will have been all worth it.

I hope you and your baby are more comfortable now - and that the last stage of your pregnancy is less troubled - take care of yourself - Tone x
