.... but I thought I should ask your oppinions anyway.

I'd been feeling a bit ill (just sort of down and tired) all of yesterday. Then in the evening I started to get period like pains, quite stong. I also had lower back ache, but different to the backache I've been having from pregnancy. Again, more like I'd get before AF & also some stabbing cramps which were going in a band across my stomach.

This morning I feel much better. Just have some stretching cramps under my bump. I was quite worried last night because it just didn't feel right but I told myself it's probably just the pressure of baby causing the pain. He's fine BTW. Was moving around plenty!

Sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions hun. If they start coming every few mins for a long time then worry!

I had that too, I got worried and went to hospital but it was only braxton hicks, so thats most likely what yours are too =]

Thanks. I've had a few braxton hicks and they didn't really feel like that but I guess they can change. It would make sense.

Dont think your worrying to much if something does not feel right get it checked... I had the same thing and i thought i was just worrying and when i got to the hosp i was dialated to 5.5 cm and i was only 27 weeks preggo... now im on 100% hosp bed rest.... Take all pains that dont feel norm with caution... I wasnt even having contractions atleast i couldnt feel them just period cramps, lower back pain and pressure!!!! Im glad everything is ok with you and baby though!!

Those darn BH can be brutal sometimes! Just make sure if they continue without stopping to get checked. Glad your feeling better today and that baby is moving plenty
