I feel your pain, I've been having painful ones too... To the point of being in tears at times. Even though i have had 2 c/sections, I've laboured both times - with #2 i though i was having BH, arrived for my c/s and told I was already 8cms, these BH seem much more intense..Wish i could offer some advice..I've been putting up with it, or having a shower/bath. Can you get a back rub from DH or someone?
