thankyou everyone for your replies.

I spoke the hosp and they suggested i go in... so i did....
they put me on the monitor and watched the bubs - they were happy, my tightnings were registering they were frequent but not intense. They did an internal which showed the "cervix softning but at the back" she said "i can fit one finger so about 1cm dilated" They then gave me some panadeine forte to see if things slowed/stopped and they slowed so i decided to go home get some sleep and wait til my clinic appt today. They did bloods andchecked my urine all ok.

So today i still have pressure but the tightnings seem to have gone... so prob pre labour stuff - so was told today just wait and see!!!!!

Any thoughts on what she meant by "cervix at the back" and if i'm already 1cm (i know it's not much!) will things progress over days/weeks?????

Hopefuully one of the midwives on belly belly could shed some light!!!

Thanks
Bella
