I'm Currently Feeling:  | Braxton Hicks or Real Labour
I have been having contractions since 7.35pm which have been lasting about 30-45 seconds each and coming every 3/4 mins. They are not getting any stronger or further apart. I have also been going to toilet (TMI) more over the last hour than normal.
I am going to go for a shower and see if that helps any. I have tried going for a walk outside but they just seem to ease off then come back again when I stop walking. Have phoned my partner and hes on standby at work at moment (doesnt finish till 11pm).
Is this just braxton hicks or is it beginning of labour? You would think I would know as this is my 4th but never had braxton hicks with last 3 pregnancies). |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Contractions have now eased right off last one was 10 mins ago so praying now they dont come back.
I have phoned labour ward and they said if they come back or if baby doesnt move around as much to phone back. I also have an appointment in the morning (11.20am) with the consultant and they suggested I get checked over to make sure everything is ok. |
