Contractions? 15 minutes apart
I am 34 weeks pregnant, doctor told me yesterday that my cervix was very thin for 34 weeks and today I have noticed cervical pain that has gotten worse throughout the day and now I am able to time the pain every 15 minutes. I don't think they are contractions though. The pain is a little bit above my pubic bone and just feels like a sharp pain for about 5 seconds and then stops. I also noticed that I had spotted once while going #1 but the blood was only on the toilet paper. Does this sound like contractions? I do plan on going in if they get worse, but as of now they are painful and timeable but bearable.
They were indeed contractions. I went into the hospital last night and they gave me a shot to stop them. Thankfully. Bun needs to stay in the oven for a few more weeks!
It could very well be contractions, and to me sounds like they are. Based on your symptoms, you could have a UTI which can cause contractions. It can also be from dehydration - are you drinking enough? Do they change with position? (IE does walking make them worse/better) Being as you're 34 weeks and having them 15 minutes apart, it wouldn't hurt to get looked at sooner to make sure it isn't early labour.
