Irritable uterus

Hi, this is me.

First baby waters leaked at 34w6d, 12 hours later what I thought was labour started and waters broke completely. Went into hospital being monitored with "tightenings" happening 4 in 10 minutes but they weren't doing anything. I was prepped for a c/s (baby was also breach) then it got cancelled as I wasn't dilating and the contractions just suddenly stopped after 8 hours of them I was kept in cos broken waters (risk of infection), him being breach(risk of prolapsed cord if labour started) and me keep getting tightenings. I was in hospital three weeks and each time the tightenings started I was transferred to the birthing suite and prepped for c/s then nothing would happen cervix wise 8-12 hours later everything would stop and I would get wheeled back to the maternity ward. I was being monitored on ctg twice a day and being checked for temps etc cos of the broken waters, had a couple of scans as well to check fluid and growth.
On their ctg my tightenings were always off the scale and very very painful, enough to have to breathe through and for them to be offering out pain relief. They couldn't really come up for a reason for what was happening and said I must just have an irritable uterus either aggravated by the broken waters or the irritable uterus caused the broken waters (although before the waters broke I only had mild BH not the horrid pain of the tightenings I got after the waters went). They also wondered whether I just wasn't going into labour cos he was breach and that I would of if a head had been pushing on my cervix, but really they didn't know and I never went into real labour with him they evicted him at 38 weeks cos of him being such a nuisance...lol

Baby number 2 I was getting lots of BH from 28 weeks onwards and for about the last month I was getting false labour so bad and almost every night that I would get no sleep, they were the sort you could time as they were so often and regular. I did get the mw out once to check me and a few times I had my friend on standby to take my eldest as I really thought labour was starting. I didn't have any issues with waters breaking with number 2. I went 4 days overdue and when I went into labour for real I actually just thought it was another false labour till my waters broke then I thought "oh maybe this is for real this time". The false labour was very much like early labour with the pains down my legs and in my back etc etc, not just your normal BH pain.

This time seems to be going the same way, I get some pretty wicked BH already and I can see it turning into what happened with number 2, which is ok, would rather that than what happened with number 1.
