I have been having contractions since last Thursday on an off. They get regular then tail off. They are getting more intense as the days go by. This is my 2nd pregnancy and wondered if anyone else has this problem? Im nearly 32 weeks preggers!

Ahh good glad someone else is like this too! I have had it on and off for a bit but its regular now and comes and goes each day. And yes damn it at night normally just as Im about to drift off Smile after proping myself into a comfortable position and getting ready for some sleep (when you can get it!) then they seem to start little buggers!

Yep they do make you want a wee dont they. Think its just another joy of being pregnant! I dont remebmer it this bad with my first! They say the 2nd is worse for braxton hicks? At night is no good then you have to get up with DC and sort them out. He he

I'm under instructions to have any BH checked out (CTG and fibronectin test) because I always go early. Last time I was checked out at 23 weeks so 32 weeks is not at all early to be getting them.

I was told to write them down, if they go away or aren't in a pattern that it's BH, if they're regular then they're contractions.

Mine started at 20 weeks in my 4th pregnancy which worried me! I went 6 days overdue :)

This time, I started getting them around 24 weeks. They are perfectly normal.
