I thought i'd better update you guys. On
thursday i woke up with bad backpain and i
knew that it wasn't normal, i had my
breakfast then went up and laid in bed for
a bit but the pain was getting steadily
worse. At first my mum thought that .Mika
could have moved into an awkward position
and be laying on a nerve so i put off
calling my midwife just incase she moved
but the pain got worse and worse and
started to average at ten minute
intervals. My mum called my midwife and
she told me to go straight to delivery
because it sounded asthough i'd gone into
premature labour.
When we got there i was hooked up the the
machine that measures contractions and the
baby's heart rate (can't remeber the
machines name) and i was deffinatly having
contractions. When i was first hooked up
to the machine the contractions were
measuring between 40 and 50 and within 20
minutes they were measuring the same as
the average woman in the latest stages of
labour . However when they
did the internal examination my cervix
wasn't dilated at all which surprised the
staff because they thought that i would
have .Mika that day because the
contractions were so strong. it turns out
that i have a really really bad uti which
caused a reaction which made me have
contractions so i'm on antibiotics and
pain killers (which i must add are
amazing!) I'm still having contractions
now but thanks to the pain killers i don't
feel any pain whatsoever.
I'm so glad that i didn't have .Mika this
early, i'm now more than happy for her to
stay in untill i'm 80weeks! Also i now
have more faith in myself than ever to
have a drug free labour because when i was
having the really bad contractions i could
deal with them, obviously it will be
different when i'm actually in labour but
now i have a little extra faith in myself
which i'm happy about.

I woundered where you had run off to...It
sounds like an eventful day!
I'm glad you weren't in labor. But, I'm
sorry you had a bad uti. Hopefully, it
will clear up soon.

feel more confident. you're putting a
positive spin on something that was a
little bit scary.

Oh my God what a day! I had a mild uti
when I was about7 month gone and the
doctor told me that if it got bad it could
cause premature labour but I've never
heard of anyone actually having that
happen til now.
Hope .Mika stays where she belongs now!

I think that I would've been freaking out!
Of course you are allot further along than
me and it wouldn't be as hard on your
baby.
Uti's are soooo painful though. I feel for
you girl. I had one in early pregnancy and
then because of the antibiotics I got a
yeast infection. Oh it was wonderful!
