Hi All, I am 39 + 3, I have been having BH for about a week now very painful, saw my DR on Tuesday he said my blood pressure was fine so he wasnt worried etc etc, but tonight I have been having REALLY painful BH/contractions, I have been having a stretching feeling just about my pubic line & also tightenings across the top of my stomach, are these also BH or is DD pushing down or is it contractions??? I have had sickness/nausea on & off for a week & diarehhea (sp) for a few days aswell. DH has been timing them, first ones were about 10 mins apart & the last few have been about 4 mins apart lasting about a minute each. I feel suck a twit asking if I am in labour or not as I read on here you will know if you are, but I am so unsure!!
