    Well I am 36 weeks and have had NO braxton hicks, so I hope that doesn't mean I'm goona be pg forever!

    BH are more common with subsequent pgs. I had them second time around, just like you described, but not with my first pg. My ob assured me that it didn't mean early labour. Tom did arrive 3 1/2 weeks early, but I think it's far more likely that 4 days of gastro brought that on rather than the BHs.

    Im 39 weeks and before have had occassional braxton hicks but not often at all but this past week they have got exactly the same as yours very regular tightenings and having lil pains with them and sometimes the pain doesnt go away and i need to be walking around and sometimes sat down but its when im active and doing things that they come on but they are quite often also it hurts in my vagina when i got them this week aswell, this could be very early stages for me so midwife told me and im having a sweep on monday anyway and been trying it all to bring it on properly. Just hoping that my cervix is ripe and soft and this sweep should help me along "fingers crossed"

    I hope everything goes ok for you, good luck! xXx
