33 weeks pregnant with number 2. Have been having BH since 20 weeks but recently some of them have been slightly painful, like mild period pains, but not as bad as proper contractions like when I went into labour last time.
Last night I half woke up (had a very very bad nights sleep anyway) and I was having a huge contraction, far more intense than any BH and reminded me of when my labour started. It freaked me out but I was so tired I went straight back to sleep after it finished, it did last a little while. Didn't have any more though.
Now baby has move right up under my ribs. I vividly remember this from DS last time and I was in agony but given how her was transverse until 37 weeks and this one has been head down since 20 weeks, I was hoping to avoid that this time.
Could that have been a real contraction, or was I dreaming or was it baby moving? The intensity of it did scare me as it felt like I was going into labour!
