BH's increasing in frequency


So at a CTG monitoring today a midwife commented on how many tightenings I was having and asked if I could feel them. I couldn't. However since 6pm I've noticed plenty of BH's...timed them from 7-8pm and they were 15 mins apart, now they're around 9 mins apart. No pain just uncomfortable pressure...worth calling the midwives or do I just grin and bear it and see what happens?

I had this during the afternoon, think its perfectly normal, for me it felt like very mild period type cramps & tummy was getting tighter & harder, our babies r preparing us!!!

I'd say its completely normal. It happened to me around the same time as you during my first pregnancy and got progressively worse from then on and this time its happened much earlier. It's very annoying. Just our bodies gearing up for whats coming! Hehe
