Need advice please !!

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant. I had a cerclage placed at 13 weeks. Two nights ago I started having really bad ongoing contractions. They were happening every 4 to 5 minutes. They were lasting over 30 seconds. I went to my doctor and I told him it felt like I was having contractions. He told me to just go home and get some rest and lay down and drink water. I went home and I did, I tried to go to sleep and I was being woken up constantly by these painful contractions. I went to my hospital. They did admit me. I was in there for a day and a half. I was given fentanyl to help with the pain and other antibiotics And magnesium.. all day today my contractions pretty much went away. They didn’t want to take out the baby because it was obviously still too early. My water never broke, I wasn’t bleeding, can’t really tell if I was dilated because of the cerclage. Pretty much the doctor was saying if I was bleeding then that would be a sign of actual labor because my stitches would erupt and I would be in a lot more pain. So all I did was manage my contractions. I just got home a little while ago and I still feel small contractions and pain. I know 100% it’s not Braxton Hicks Absolutely does not feel like it would be. I just don’t know what to do now because I still see no blood and my water didn’t break but I am so confused. Am I just supposed to have this pain for the next six weeks? Is there anything I can take? Or does Tylenol even help these?… I just want a good nights rest.):

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?
