So I was told at 31 weeks that I was at risk for preterm labor.. I havent actually gone into labor at anypoint that they needed to stop but my cervix was measuring extremely short at that point...
I believe, I have been losing chunks of my mucous plug but dont actually know.. This has been going on for over a week off and on...
I was having alot of contractions in the past - non regular, some painful,, but most short and painless... I havent gone to the hospital for them at this point because when I wasi n the hospital for 9 days, I was having 26-30 of these a day and after the 9 days, there was no cervix change... Then they went down to 10-14 a day... then like 3-5 a day...
This week, I have been having almost no contractions (in regards to the hardening of my uterus) but the last two nights, I have been having an increasing amount of off and on Menstrual cramping... Last night, it was pretty bad at times, it kept me up and I had to focus and breathing through some of it...
I am not heading to the hospital at this point because I have had the steriods shots and my doctor said at this point, they will not do anything to stop labor if it starts so I am not asking if I should I go get checked out.. The cramping has subsided now...
But I guess my concern is what could this be? Could it be a sign that labor may be pending? Why is it worst at night?
I take it pretty easy already either way, am keeping myself hydrated, emptying my bladder frequently.. i want to make it passed 36 weeks and I feel like I will.. I just know there has been a marked increase in the menstrual like cramping the last two nights/days... and a decrease in the tightenings....
