[Robyn_]

ive been getting braxton hicks alot. especially at night. i mean i think its that anyways, could really be labour cos i would have a baby here now. lol..
is there anything i can do for the pains cos i been getting them quite badly.. or do i just have to wait them out.

I got them quite a lot with Kayleigh, they'd take your breath away, last upto 20 secs, come every 20 mins and last a couple of hours. Just as I thought right i'm going to phone the hospital they'd stop!

yeah i know what u mean mum tells me if they last any longer she wil ring the mw but it always calms down after that

 

[Caroline]

I would time exactly how long they last and how far apart they are. I found sometimes they would vary between 15 mins and 30 mins so knew not to panic, other times they would be 20 mins regular and then i'd start to panic.

yeah i will if it happens tonight, then i will talk to my midwife tomorrow about it..
