    I have no idea what to make of it all... I'm guessing my body is just practicing for the real thing...
    I've been getting cramping and REALLY tight belly since yesterday afternoon at around 10min intervals, with the tightness lasting for anywhere between 1-2mins. BUT I don't really feel it when my belly goes rock hard . Now this afternoon the cramps are getting to an unbearable level and sometimes I can feel my stomach tighten, but generally I have to touch it to make certain. And with each one there is massive pressure down below.
    I would ring the hospital to check everything but I feel kinda stupid about it because I don't always feel them when they're happening, so I can't always make a mental note of how far apart they are, but I know the really strong ones were 5mins apart and quite painful.

    Hope that all makes sense.... my mind is all over the place

    Hun, if you get too worried about it, just go to the hospital. I know they won't get too worried if your in every single day! Thats what they're there for

    Well I rang the hospital on Tuesday and went through with the MW what has been happening. She said it sounded like i'd moved from Braxton Hicks to early labour and to wait it out as long as I can at home cos it could go for hours and unless they're 5mins apart i'd be sent home.
    Well it's now Thursday and nothing has happened. They can be nice and regular for a few hours and then they jump around. And some are that painful I'm ready to pass out with them.
    Have my OB appointment tomorrow so will see what she says. But it's getting scary being by myself because of the headaches, dizziness, almost passing out etc
    The things we go through as women to have children
