Netti,

The funny thing with BH is that some people find them to be noticable and some don't - I never had any with my two except when we moved house and I was doing too much. But none the less, any contractions you have, your uterus is preparing for labour and they are all helpful - it's not a game your body plays with you.

Try not to get too caught up in the timing of them in early labour, you'll just make yourself more anxious and when they start feeling really uncomfortable, then take note and call the hospital, otherwise you might be timing early labour contractions forever and the hospital will tell you to stay there unless they are fairly close together, which can be deflating.

So when they start to hurt or you feel that you can't cope with them or distract yourself from the pain, then you will likely be further progressed and feel better when they tell you to come in.

I know it's hard sweety, but you don't want to be getting to hospital so over waiting for it to happen that they decide you have been in there long enough and they'll start deciding to induce or augment you (ask anyone about induction and I tell you they will put you off the idea - I can vouch for that!) and at worse case, decide on an emergency caeser for failure to progress because you have been there for a while and baby just isn't ready....

So hang in there hon and you'll give your baby the best gift you can - birth when he is ready. I know you are over being ready
