There have been a few premmies this year born in the premature birth forum, maybe go and check out some of their journey's. I have had quite a few pains in the past week. A few that have caught my breath & caused me to stop what I am doing. Luckily they have settled down today... I had pre-labour with Matilda for around 2 weeks and then wound up being overdue so hopefully its just your body preparing! I've heard the second time around your body is more "prepared" for birth but still goes through practice runs. HTH!
