    My doctor when I saw him yesterday said "One day they just won't stop - that'll be labour". Lol. Not very helpful I know!! I do know though that I always get stronger/longer lasting ones after sex. I'm no expert, but I'd say if they get stronger and regular call the hospital and see what they think

    I have at times had BH contractions for hours and it didn't mean anything. If they don't get more painful and closer together then it shouldn't be a problem. Have a cold drink and lie down... that is supposed to stop them if you are worried.
