Thanks everyone. I suppose being a ftm sort of freaks you out a bit especially when you decide to ask your own mum stuff she either acts as if you are a wierd freaky moron and talking about something she has never heard of or starts the car to rush you to hospital (BI-POLAR or what!?)

I asked the OB about the stupid painful b/h I have been having and he said that its perfectly fine and nothing to worry about. He said that if they get really bad a shower, bath or lie down are the best remedies and that it isn't a sign of early labour. Also said they will be worse if you are dehydrated or haven't had enough to drink on a hot day. Just told me to grin and bear it (although nicely).
