Is there such a thing as too many Braxton Hicks???

fingers crossed its just BH's picking up pace as we are on the home stretch! Those boys could do with a bit more baking! Let us know how you go

I had an amazing amount of BH with the twins, compared to basically nothing with DS. There was times when I said to DH "I swear I'll go into labour tonight" for weeks before the birth. I was on weekly CTG from about 30weeks, then twice a week from 34weeks. They had just stepped it up to 3 times a week the day before I actually went into labour - blessing in disguise really because I hated the monitoring - very boring and half the time we'd be nearly finished and they would say "Opps, we were monitoring the same twin twice!" and have to start again! Twin pregnancies should come with a see-through stomach!

Everything was good with the boys and the contractions on the monitor were very mild... Um not what I was feeling in my "you know where", everytime one hit it would take my breath away. My Ob was at the hospital when I was there so checked and said that nothing is happen yet just my body reacting to being overstretched. I've just been told to rest (because an almost 18mth old allows lots of rest) use a hot water bottle and take panadol. I would have much preferred them to say rest, hot water bottle and a block of chocolate, I think chocolate would have a more soothing effect than panadol at this time.

So back on Friday for my monitoring appt and I just need to keep pushing through everyday in discomfort to hopefully get to the 35-36 week mark if my body can cope that much longer.
