Cervix Check, Now Contractions?

Question

I'm  36.6 today, had my prenatal at 10AM. She said I'm 70% effaced and 1cm dilated, felt his head. It's now 6PM and I've been having contractions since about 330/4. However nothing in regular intervals just yet, but definitely painful enough to knock the wind out of me during each one. I know she didn't strip my membranes, but I was wondering if the check could've just seriously irritated me and is causing these contractions? Has anyone gone into labor after a routine check?

Answer

It's not entirely unlikely to have cramping and such after cervix checks.... Keep an eye on the contractions and head to L&D when they get about 5 mins apart

Answer

I'm having the same thing..36+6 as well and had my appointment this morning. I usually have Braxton hicks after. Good luck!

Answer

I second that call your Doc. Head in to L&D.

Answer

I'm also due in May and get crampy after cervix checks. But, not anything that knocks the wind out of me. I'd call your doctor's office! Good luck to you
