Cramping and Pains. Anyone experienced this??

[black_rose]

My BH for the last two pg have been what you are describing, really strong back pain and af cramping in my belly. With dd2 this did turn into pre term labour at 35 weeks, the difference was that they even stronger, were regular (5 minutes) apart and could be recorded by the monitor. I also had to really concentrate on my breathing, but most of the pain was in my back.

I hope it all settles down for you over the next few days.

with my first pg the BH felt mostly like tightenings across the top of belly.

BUT this time they are alot more intense and do require me to lie on the couch and do my 'calmbreathing' exercises to get through particularly *interesting* bouts. i find that certain activities set it off...mostly walking strangely enough...i can scrub the floors til the cows come home, but walking really kicks it off.
i get sharp stabby pains atm with the BH i *think* due to bub's position. she seems to be really at the front and my stomach muscles have separated somewhat so i guess it is alot of nerve banging going on...

big i hope that it settles down for you babe...doesnt sound like fun when it gets to the stage of needing monitoring
