Im 19+4 and earlier on today i had what i would describe as a cramp that made me feel really tight just above my bikini line and i could really feel the baby if you get what i mean! Could his be a b/h contraction???

Sounds like a BH - I got them regularly from about 18 weeks.

I started at around 20 weeks with ds2, they got really bad to the extent that I was getting 5/6/7 an hour, every hour by about 25 weeks (continuing to the end) and when I was monitored at 32wks (mw thought it might be due to a UTI, anti-b's cleared up the UTI but BH's continued) the doctor freaked slightly (and they had been less during monitoring because I was sitting there doing nothing) and recommended I stay in and have a course of steriods to develop the baby's lungs in case it came early.
Everything was fine, baby came at 36+6wks (ds1 had been 37wks) and I had a very fast uncomplicated labour.

yep sounds like a Bh to me.

I got them that early too.
now i'm 34 weeks i get them regularly, sometimes they get as close together as every 5 mins for over an hour. But not painful.
I have taken many a trip to the hosp just in case when they get that regular.

Itsjust your body's way of preparing your uterus
