So I guess I would say your definition is different to what you have been doing, are you on medication to stop the tightenings?
No medication. they told me that they wouldnt stop labour now (being that i am 34w+). Bubs is engaged and all that, has been for a couple of weeks...maybe i should lie down more...with two small kids seriously, i swear that the moment they see me lie down it's like the hounds have been released and have declared a game of: "Pile On" hahaha.

Oceanprincess: yeah this is what i read too: that it regenerates, there has been no blood tinged stuff yet, so my thinking is that it will regenerate...right lol?!

Ok, I will text her...in the morning. now seems a bit late; if i feel things ramp up or i lose more bits with blood i'll text straightaway. DH is going to a birthday party with the girls' tomorrow and the mum of the kid is a midwife at the womens and i can get him to get the low-down from her too.

Thanks guys xx Seriously i am one of those people that dont really like to annoy others and well, dont want to bother people with unimportant info. but i guess if i treat it as a 'heads up/update' then i dont feel so bad...
