Just seen this thread hun, I hope the CTG went ok this morning and you're alright.

Contractions for me with both my bubs (DS at full term & DD obviously prem as you know) were all down low, at my cervix and very crampy, just like strong period pain. I never got anything across my belly or back - it was all down low and unmistakenly the pain associated with dilating. I never had any BH with either so hard to make a comparison though.

Thinking of you hun, I sincerely hope Flicker is staying put for you

Just a quick update I was in at my OB's office on the CTG, I'm having contractions every 15 min, lasting 1.5-2m and quite strong, and inbetween a very irritable uterus that won't relax. So on a constant higher dose of Nifedipine, plus boosters of a quick relase form, and now on bed/couch rest for the net few days to hopefully slow everything down, my cervix is holding it's own at the moment so jsut gotta calm this baby and uterus down. Still got lots of baking to do before meeting this baby!

Hopefully DH will set things up so I can come on BB

Lots more hugs & stay put vibes from me Beema. Definitely take the next few days to rest, I hope things start to subside. It must be so very stressful for you, not to mention uncomfortable.
