I have been getting intense BH in the last week.

This is baby number 5 and these BH are like proper contractions. I feel them build up, hit, peak and ease off. They hold for a good minute or so. They require breathing through and sometimes i get that sting im cervix like you do when you are dilating.

They are never regular though which is why im not down the hospital every 5 minutes. The other night i had 3 about 1/2 hour apart and then they stopped.

Im just wondering if anyone else gets like this? Ive never had it like this before in previous pregnancies. I have a high pain threshold and these stop me from what im doing until it goes. Is it cos this is baby number 5? Would anything be happening to my cervix?

I have visions of it happening like this for the next 6 wks and me getting to 38 wks and having 2 contractions and having the baby IYKWIM.

It might be a silly question but ive never experienced this before so i thought i would ask for others experiences.
