Am nearly 34 weeks but have a history of premature labours, so looks like things might be happening here. Scared now. My back is contantly aching and having contractions every 10 minutes. Going to have a bath and hope it eases off

what I meant was they came early and wasn't expecting it. Have been ready this time since 28 weeks

Aaw, don't be sacred sparkly. Actually the fear's normal isn't it, and it'll go soon if you are in labour, remember?
Good Luck.

Hope you are heading to hospital soon. Could be a urinary tract infection which mimics labour and can also set you off in labour. Back pain can be labour or kidney pain.

Best to get checked out ASAP.
