Just wondering what they feel like because I think I am having them. I get a really heavy feeling of pressure like someone or something has placed an enormous weight on my stomach - normally sort of high under my ribs which moves down to my pelvis area, and my stomach goes absolutely rock hard, is not painful, but is extremely uncomfortable.

I did read about them on the internet, and it said to contact dr. if you are having them more htan 4 times an hour, which I am not, but I still get them probably 5 times a day, and wondered if this is normal for only 22 weeks. My stomach is extremely large, I look fullterm (am not overweight, just huge baby belly) my uterus does measure very large but baby is still normal size. Could this be the reason for having them so often so soon? Does it mean I may have more chance of going early?
