    period-like pain

    hi everyone,

    just interested to know if everyone or anyone is having slight period-like-pain?? i am almost 30 wks at the moment not due until early to mid jan 2011.

    this is my 3rd bub (although my 1st bub is going to be 11yrs feb 2011 and my last bub will be 9yrs in april 2011!) And i can't remember if i had it this early before....!

    Give me something girls!!

    I'm hoping it is normal.

    Thanks )

    hey hun, normally BH is a tightening accompanied by no pain is what i got told on tuesday by the MW but period like pain that comes and goes n lasts a lil bit is assumed to be or may be contractions maybe contact the birth unit n explain to them or maybe monitor them to see how frequent u get them...
    dw im the same ive never had an onset of natural labour so im in the same boat lol

    Hi Amali*baby,

    yeah i have read the BH is generally painless.... I think i will call the FBC. It has only happened sporadically over the last week for a minute or so at a time. Thanks i'll get onto it.

    I've been having it too! Light period pain but not all the time..
    I haven't heard that BH were painless!! Everyone I have heard talk about them have said it's like an tightening with period pain or cramps just not as bad as when in labour! Maybe talk to your MW but I wouldn't worry too much...
    FX everything is fine!

    hi ladies, sorry about late reply. i,ve had the pain a few more times and i am seeing my midwife next week so i'm just going to chart when i've had it. i am working 36hrs a wk and it is a fairly active job, so i think it could be that i'm overdoing it as i have been very tired.( 32wks now) A girl i work with felt that it could be BH as well, its on my list of things to ask about. Thanks for the love... i'll be in touch xx
