So I have passed 34 weeks now with the twins with my belly measuring at 45 weeks, my Ob told me last week to "be prepared".

This morning around 5.30am I woke up with the usual feeling I get when I'm about to get my period, a low down continual crampy feeling. I got up to go to the loo in case that was the reason but when I got back into bed the discomfort continued enough to not let me get back to sleep but not strong enough for me to be in pain.

I've been up and walking around and have been getting tightenings and some pain "down there" but still not enough to have me doubled over in agony. I haven't timed any of the contractions as yet as I thought I might wait to see if things get stronger over the day.

My DH knew this would happen as my Ob is on holidays this week....

As I never experienced labour with DD I don't know what to expect......
