Thanks guys. It's just confusing when you read stuff online and it says that BH shouldn't be painful and if you have cramping to see your doctor. I've just got a constant dull ache in my lower back and period type pain atm and the BH haven't intensified or anything so i'm sure it's just a natural process. I had prelabour for a few weeks last time but don't remember the pains being so painful. Amazing how our bodies change each pregnancy.
