Thankyou ladies. After resting the pains seemed to subside and just left more of a dull ache across my belly and back.

I called my midwife and while she was a bit worried as to why I am already having strong/painful BH she was pretty happy that, with rest, they seemed to go away. She wants me to keep a close eye on things and to call her if it happens again and we will go to the hospital for monitoring.
