I'm currently just shy of a 34 weeks with my fourth pregnancy. Some history as head to premature babies and one full-term baby, no known reason for why I give birth early. I'm on the Makena shot which is basically a synthetic progesterone, I've been getting them every week since the start of 2nd trimester. The progesterone shots worked for my son, he was born full-term. However, with this baby the past two weeks going on 3 weeks I've had tear my butt diarrhea. My doctors don't seem to be concerned at all about it even though I mentioned it and try to get some to see if I was dehydrated, they just don't seem to care. So I assumed maybe it was normal? But I read on the McKenna website said diarrhea could be a normal side effect or it could be a sign of becoming resistant to the synthetic progesterone. I'm assuming it's probably because maybe I'm becoming resistant can the medication? I'm only assuming this because it was kind of a sudden onset, normally diarrhea would come and go for me but this time it has not gone away at all.
Anyway, the past half-hour or so I've been having what feel like early labor contractions. They are a little more painful than the Braxton Hicks said I would randomly get so far. I am posting some time stamps and when they happened and how far apart they are. Should I be concerned or should I just wait the hour and see what happens? Could these still be considered Braxton Hicks and I have nothing to worry about?
