    I get Braxtons hicks all the time, at least 4/5 times a day every day.
    I hope it aint a sign that i'm gonna have a too early labour! :eek:

    I've been getting them about 5 times a day for the last few days ~ I'm only 24+5!

    Can't remember getting them this early with the other 2.


    Mel, I'm not far from you, I'm in Bebington :)

  • Aww - SB, we were hoping that by taking you off the birth list you would be heading back towards the EDD list ;):D


    AF - you do have someone to make you shop...BUBS!!! Don't panic yet, it's only in the last week or so that I have really sorted myself out so you are ahead of me IYSWIM.
    Did your friend give you any tips?

    I have had a couple of 'Start packing your hospital bag' type emails from the various baby clubs :eek: ...I hadn't even begun to think about packing one yet. I am only just getting to grips with what I need to be taking with me! I am thinking family size suitcase at the moment :rotfl:

    Mel, I'm not far from you, I'm in Bebington :)

    I wonder why I am getting them this time but have never had them before:confused: and it has taken this long to get them. I haven't had any today, yet!

    Shellsuit - We are near Capenhurst Train Station:D

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    MFD - I haven't packed anything yet, I am going to dig out the holdall and what fits is what i'm having!!! although I am hoping for a home-birth, and I wasn't going to pack a bag at all;) I was advised to 'just in case'.

    Hey, we're creating a little gang here - i'm Bromborough! :p

    Mel - were we not saying how great the Wirral Line was a couple of days ago? Ooops!!

    I've had much stronger BH's this pregnancy - several times a day now, it makes me stop and catch my breath. I'm starting to worry i won't know the difference when the real contractions start!
