Noni, I did have BHs during my second pg which felt just like labour. I had them from probably about 30 weeks or so. Painful BHs are far more common in subsequent pgs, so you can't really compare to what happened last time.

More than likely it's just BH, but as the others have said, it's better to be checked out than to worry, so a visit to your care provider wouldn't hurt. GL hun.
