I didn't particularly have BH with DD1 but with DD2 from 35 odd weeks on I had many, many occasions where for I had contractions for a good couple of hours that grew in intensity and regularity. Lots of times I was thinking oh yay this is it, only to have it all fizzle out. DD2 was born at 41+2.

I'm getting increasingly strong BH now and have been for a week or so. A couple of nights ago I was awake for almost two hours thinking maybe maybe, but then nothing.

Its very frustrating, but if I take heart in that its all good preparation work my body is doing for my little girl's birth - hopefully sooner rather than later ;-)
