Possible irritable uterus and pre term labor at 33 weeks

Does anyone is suffering from this ?

I went to the hospital as I felt a stronger pain than usual. I have been dealing with a lot of braxton hicks (a lot) which are uncomfortable not painful and cramps. I have been talking with midwifes which all they say it's normal to keep doing my tasks etc. But I have a toddler and I think it was too much what I was doing. Because now after going to triage they kept me for 24hrs did CTGs to monitor baby, we do see contractions on the monitor but they are painless most of the time and baby seems happy still.
But I have been kept monitorized for the next days and the pre term labor tests they did all seem fine and they told me for 7 days birth is unlikely.
After this I have been feeling quite down emotional and just want to cry. But I am hopeful and I know if it needs to be born it will be alright.
Anyone in the same or similar situation ?

My daughter was born at 33 weeks last year I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and high risk. I will say baby survival rate is high but NICU is HARD. she’s a little bit behind compared to her sister but she’s do amazing

Yes I have been experiencing a lot of prodromal labour the past 3 weeks and was admitred twice for it I've been keeping myself hydrated the past few days and using electrolytes. Recommendation from other mothers. Some people just get this. Keep an eye on it if it progresses to active labour go in to the hospital.

In my case i'm high risk for preterm labour and have cervicall changes that indicate that things are happening with the pain. If your cervix is stable then you should be okay.

anyone who’s had their baby…

do you miss being pregnant? I had my baby girl earlier this week and I was getting fed up and so uncomfortable and was glad that I was being induced but today is her due date and I honestly wish I could go back and not rush, she’ll be my last baby and I feel like I didn’t appreciate being pregnant enough😭

Relate?

Did anyone else have an anterior placenta and now their baby needs to sleep with a comforter covering their face?

Plans

I realise we’re still in the newborn bubble but other than looking after your little one - what is or what’s going to be your ‘you time’?
I imagine people will be making time for themselves at the gym

Overwhelmed people touching the bump and speculating about baby’s future.

Am I the only one here? Other than the dad of course I’m really feeling uncomfortable with people touching the bump. My MIL and DH’s family do it non stop (they even laugh that some people don’t love it), my baby never moved loads and goes especially quiet when they’re around. I’ve been to triage twice with RFM, so this triggers extra stress.

They also believe he’s going to be small and my bump is ‘all water (I had a scan and neither is true, all avg), and at the same time speculate if he’s going to have short legs, big ears and chubby fingers (ie opposite of me). I couldn’t care less what my baby looks like but all I want to do is protect him from this chaos :(

Sorry for the vent, I cried all night after seeing them yesterday as it’s just getting too much 😥

I already kiiiindaaaa miss being pregnant 😭🩷

Enjoy your last few days or weeks of pregnancy if you’re still pregnant! I was in sooooo much pain those final weeks, like you could not have paid me to want to be pregnant any longer- so much false labor, pubic pain, lightning crotch, insomnia, peeing every hour, honestly barely could move at times I just felt like a huge freaking whale. Don’t get me wrong it feels SOOO good to not be pregnant anymore (even tho postpartum is equally as painful, if not more lol postpartum cramps are NO. JOKE. 😅) but gosh I wish I could just have 1 more day with her in my belly! 🥺🩷
