Need advice on pains/contractions... Ouch!!

i rekon they r the real thing,sounds like wot i had wen i had my lil boy,6 yrs ago nw,:( times gne ssoooo quick!! bt the pains ur explainin sound exactly the same bt he was 6 wks early!! def worth phonin the midwife 4 advice and c wot she says!! xx

I would give the delivery suite a call and see what the midwife's have to say. Everyone's different. I didn't have a show and my waters didn't break with my first. If you call them they'll be able to give you the best advice x

i havent had any type of show at all, just an increase in normal discharge over the last week or so, so im not sure whats going on, i know everyone is different but on your first, you hear so many things...!

does sound like it but give the midwife at the hospital a bell and check in with them let them know what you are experencing as sometimes the pains can get milder but can come on strong again in quick succession. They should be able to advise you on what you should do!! i hope it all goes well!! good luck!

Take some paracetamol and try and get some sleep if you can. If things are going to start then try to get some rest. It could take a while before things really start moving. Have you had a show?

thank you. do you think if this is it, my pains are likely to stay pretty regular now?? i sat up for a while and ever since i lay back down... im waiting now! mild but they seemed to have calmed down. x

Sounds promising!!! You can always give the midwifes at the hospital a call. The will probably tell you to stay put for now but should be able to tell you what's going on. The whole rocking thing sounds very much like when I was in labour with my two!! Good luck x

Im 3 days overdue and startin about 7:30 tonight i had backache thats got worse and worse. im having period type pains in my lower belly, and they seem to be getting bad bu i can still talk through them. i find walking around helps a bit. about half 10 i went to bed with a hot water bottle and started timing them... im having a constant period type ache and every 10 mins approx, it gets really strong and hurts like crazy! i find either getting up and walking takes my mind off the pain or kneeling on all 4s and kind of swinging my hips from side to side helps. ive given up trying to sleep! each strong pain lasts about a minute to a minute and a half. can anyone help?? are these still just braxton hicks or the real thing?? :( xx
