Ooooooooh, am excited on your behalf.

I had very strong and painful braxton hicks with Dd2 starting from about 33 weeks, and my midwife insisted it was normal. I went into labour at 34 weeks .

PrincessPeaHead · 06/12/2006 19:11

hey I'll take anything. Singhalese stamps, hubcaps from a ford capri, litre of counterfeit gin....

5 weeks, hmmm? Lets hope they are braxton hicks, that's a little early

I know I should agree with you PPH but if you saw the size of me you'd think I was 5 weeks over.

I'll let him stay in for a while yet I suppose...

Give him a week.

Then start poking him with a stick

When I was in hospital waiting to be induced for PreE I got what I thought was Braxton hicks mixed with wind pains - PMSL! Was my second too.

MerryChristmasfromQV · 06/12/2006 19:16

PMSL PPH!

nutcracker · 06/12/2006 19:17

lulumama · 06/12/2006 19:17

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 06/12/2006 19:18

ds3 did that to me for two weeks the little devil

UCM · 06/12/2006 19:19

LTH, I have them too. This is the tightenings right. Are you getting back pain as well. I am 33 weeks too but the M/W today measured me at 35 weeks, gawd knows what this means. But when I get em they are quite strong.
