I always thought they were ment to be irregular n not follow any form of pattern.

I've been have contractions for the past 5 hours n there ranging from 2-10 mins apart n about 30 secs long, i've rung my mw n she said its just bh n to drink lots of fluids n call her back if they continue or start following a pattern. I rung her again about 30mins ago n she said cos bubs is still active its nothing to worry about just carry on drinking water n resting.

Could any of you shed any light on what it may be as its really starting to scare me.

Laying on your left side as well should help stop them.

I'm doing that atm sorry if that sounds harsh just had another. I'm swaping from left to right as staying on my left sides making my lower back hurt.

I aint too shore but if it was me i probabley would have went hospital or something to get checked as they arnt supposed to be THAT frequent...some doctor's and MW's just go by "the Book" and dont think of you as an individual and this could be something else...if you are really worried and you sound it to me i would get advise to get a second oppinon your MW can't even se you to know how bad or how frequent they are lol...some hsopital's have a thing called triage where you can go and get checked anytime it's usaully next to a labour ward...so i have been told maybe you can go to one of those instead of A&E....I know sometimes it can feel like going A&E they may think your a mad pregnant women exzadurating lol...But it's YOUR baby and your not covinced everything is ok so i think it's more then normal to get checked

Aaah and i see your due the day after me

take care..x
