    I had something very similar around 30 weeks and my OB told me it was pre-labour pains. They came and went right up until full term, along with BHs.

    Looks like your body is just getting ready for the big day, preparing early
    Wow really!? Geez I'm only 27 weeks, I don't want no pre-labour yet lol! Thanks for replying It's not comfortable at all. Being reminded of AF when pregnant is just plain weird!

    It is weird, isn't it! I had all sorts of aches and pains the whole way through my PG (including frequent BHs from 16 weeks!) which was a bit freaky but also kind of nice knowing my body was doing it's 'thing' IYKWIM. I'd ask my OB at every appointment thinking I'd go into early labour at any second and he'd just chuckle at me and tell me to relax as it's all very normal and great that my body was doing the right stuff.

    Definitely bring it up with your midwife though at your next appointment. And I'm sure you would anyway, but pop in for a quick checkup if it's really bothering you.
