whats the difference between braxton hicks and real contractions?

[misdee]

timing wise? and psosition of tighenings?

u'd think after 2 kids i should know, but was induced with dd1 and woke up in full on labour with dd2.

so how will i know when its the real thing?

I don't know either of you two but I am on tenterhooks!!!!!!!!!!

this is all getting rather exciting! I was less excited about my own I think!!!

appointment today didnt happen. i got there and they have moved ALL my appointments to the other hospital. so i had to go and call there to rebook appointments there, so now its friday.

yes the dog got washed. and her bed, and the kitchen floor. got up this morning and she had had several accidents so had to do it al again. i was seiously tempted to use some lovely smelling shampoo on her and make her smell all girly.

BH were never painful for me, it was just a strange sensation, and the whole bump would be rock solid. When I went into labour it felt like gas pains.
