Hi Leeloo!

I got BH's from 14 weeks along, probably around ten per day.. then from about 36 weeks i started getting them, say, every ten minutes for an hour or two, then they'd stop, then start again, then stop. They were stronger and some actually hurt. My midwife said that this was pre-labour. When she did a stretch and sweep at 41 weeks i was already 3-4cm dialated and fully thinned out. I ended up having my bub at 41+5. Oh, and i didn't lose my show til after the stretch and sweep, only a bit of mucous plug from about 36 weeks (TMI).

So good news for you! Your body is probably already doing the work to make your labour easier!!

Goodluck with your birth!
