Chronic Stitch

Hiding · Sep 27th, 2009, 11:56 AM

Is anyone else getting these? I've been having them every day now for the last dew days, and have had 5 so far today. They are always on my left side and are so bad they take my breath away and all I can do is stop where I am or sit down and rest. I cant breathe or talk through them unless I am sitting. I'm not too worried about them as they do go away, but just wondered if they are a sign of things happening? I'm 37+5.

Man they hurt!

Yeah, I've been getting them too. I put it down to maybe just stretching but they bloody hurt!

They could be practice contractions, not BH but actual low intensity contractions according to my Obgyn x

Yes, but BH are not real ones.

You can actually experience real contractions as well (but on a smaller scale than labour ones) that do not actually lead immediately to labour but do get stronger as you approach labour. They do feel like stitch, heaviness etc.

I also didnt know about this one, until I suffered with a major stitch on my right hand side and heaviness on week 25 and when I went to the doctors they put me to the contractions stress test machine and we saw that I was actually having real ones.

I suffer with them since week 25 due to irritable cervix and have to have medication as I am so early still and must not let them progress.
