    Sarah, I don't find that BH have anything to do with my labour. They are caused by increased levels of estrogen and don't cause the cervix to dilate at all. I started having them from very early with both Tehya and Abbey, like around 15 weeks or so. Are you drinking RLT ?? If so and you find that you are having too many BH you can cut back on it.

    At this stage in your pregnancy though they are totally normal and just what you want to be feeling.

    Bub will move around more after a BH the same as they do with real contractions. It all goes very snug for them in there. Almost like a cuddle for them

    WooHoo only 9 more weeks for you
