Is it in lower back?

Do you think they are contractions... I mean is it regular? Does it come at the same pace and can you talk when it is happening?

starshaker · 29/03/2005 22:45

Good luck

If this is every 10 minutes and these are contractions it is still (sorry!) early days.
If you are concerned you can call the labour ward, if you go in too early (10 mins apart will be) and you will be disappointed

Ring them if it will put your mind at ease... it won't either accelerate or slow down a labour.
