Pre-labour??

How early can you expect pre-labour/early labour? I've starting getting mild period pain contractions already! Last night they were about every 20min for about 3 lots...slept well and work up with another 2 lots this morning. Everything seems to have stopped now although I've had some good pains in my cervix I assume from bubbas head and I still feel funny in my lower tummy - like I could get one at any time iykwim? Also the pains seem to come when I'm resting not when I'm active which I thought was backwards to bh?
I'm only 34w tomorrow - is this all happening too early or will it probably just continue like this for another 6 weeks?? I had Louis 2 weeks early....
I've got an appointment with my dr next Tues so I suppose as long as it doesn't get any worse I'll just wait and see what she says....

Thanks!

Oh Kristie, I replied in the buddies thread, but thought I'd reply here too. I don't know if it's pre-labour or early labour or not, I just thought I'd send you more wishes to keep Dylan in there for a few more weeks!

OMG Kristie!! I can't believe how close you are!! Wow!

I think prelabour can go on for weeks, but then again, it may not....lets hope he stays in there for a few more weeks yet!

Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm sure it will all be fine as well! I'm sure I'll be well and truly over it if it continues on for 6 weeks though! hehe.

Wow Linda - You're coming along in your p/g as well!! What a gorgeous photo of little Emma! Hope you're well!

Those sound exactly like my BH's. Mine started around 35 weeks, I went into prelabour probably around 40 weeks and Jovie was born 11 days post EDD... but right on time ;)
