Contraction?

[Bluebutterfly90]

Hi, I'm 41+3 and about an hour ago I started to get some pain in my back, but then it went round to the top of my tummy.
It felt like it was being squeezed really hard for a good two or three minutes.
Naturally I assume that's a contraction and things are about to get going, but then it stops and I haven't had another one since.

Is it normal to have one and then for it to stop? I'm quite an anxious person and I do worry quite easily.

Hi,

I'm 38+6 with baby 2, and for last week been getting all the signs really bad back ache, cramping but then it stops, it's very frustrating. I think this can be normal, it's like your body is teasing you until it decides when it wants labour to actually begin! Also I have had a start of a show 3 days ago, yet another sign but no labour as yet!

Jump in a warm bath, I found it moved things in quickly.
