    I only got mine in the last week before DD was born (so was 37 weeks). and strangely enough i ONLY got them walking. such a bummer at the time as i lurved going down to the corner store for my snack cravings LOL!

    have you got a nice heat pack and some lavender oil to sprinkle on it?? i found that really helped with many aches and pains in those final weeks...

    good luck sweet hope those BH give you a break every now and then!

    I cant remember how early I got them but I tend to get them more when she is awake and active. I have an irritable uterus so have always had some that take my breath away.

    Its funny you should say that Ali - bubs is always really really active for the first 20 min of the drive, and its about 30 -40 min in that the BH starts. I wonder if maybe its more the baby being active than the drive itself?

    I've never had them with any of my pregnancies, which is a bit weird I think

    I got them just after 20 weeks this time around - and my GP didn't believe me, told me it must be muscles stretching - uh, I think I know what they feel like by now!

    Mine eased off at about 26 weeks (like Trish's, which is interesting - I thought I'd done something to make them stop! ) and are back in the last few weeks.

    Certain movements can trigger them, and sex, other times they just happen.

    With DS1 ...after 2 days of painless, regular 10 minute BH , they just merged seamlessly into labour ... so if that happens this time I will be on the alert!

    I've been getting them for months now... Mostly they are just niggling and uncomfy... But lately (and sometimes before hand) they have been strong and painful... THings like working, walking, driving, eating certain foods and stress make them come on (kinda leaves me to do NOTHING) lol!
