Slink!!!!! i wonder if you should go to the hospital, they may be able to stop the contractions, i'm pretty sure they can do that. Might it be worth getting it checked out??? very worried about you.
We all may start having braxton hicks from 6 wks although the chances of us feeling them is slim that early, towards mid pregnancy we may feel them.
found this advice:
When should I call my doctor or midwife?
Call your caregiver right away if you haven't reached 37 weeks and your contractions are becoming more frequent, rhythmic, or painful, or if you have any of these possible signs of preterm labor:
? Abdominal pain, menstrual-like cramping, or more than four contractions in an hour (even if they don't hurt).
? Any vaginal bleeding or spotting.
? An increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge ? if it becomes watery, mucousy, or bloody (even if it's only pink or blood-tinged).
? Increased pelvic pressure (a feeling that your baby's pushing down).
? Low back pain, especially if it's a new problem for you.
Hope that helps you slink, please get yourself checked, even if its for your own piece of mind. I know the problems you've already had with rubbish hospitals etc, but this is important, and you and the baby need some care.
