hi my name is Lisa and i'm soon to be a new mum.
i'm about nine days over due and all day yesterday i was experiencing constant discomfort in my lower tummy. I have had a show over the past 3 days and at about 10pm last i started experiencing what i thought were contractions (sharp pain in lower front and back). They were about a minute long and were about 10-15 minutes apart. They didnt stop until about 5am this morning. After that nothing has happened. I rang the hospital and they said that it was just a practise run. It felt so real please tell me its not far off?

i dont want to seem as though i'm "jumping the gun" the next time i call...
