What Causes Sudden Contractions During Early Week Of 3rd Trimester?
My daughter in law is 29 weeks with a didelphic uterus. Her last visit to the dr on Monday showed that the baby had dropped and was put on bed rest. Last night she had contractions for over an hour and could “not get comfortable” but drank water and eventually they stopped. Should she be seen? They think everything is just Braxton Hicks.

hi
well i have gone through your case, plz be calm and dont panic
well preterm contraction can be false contraction, if it got ok on drinking water it means she was dehydrated and need sufficient water supplement
dehydration is one of the major case of contration
secondly didelphic uterus also can give rise to contraction better to have bed rest and if contraction continues after proper hydration and rest kindly visit your gynae
thanks
