Ok so for the past 4 weeks I have been having a lot of BH, but the past few days they are happening regularly but irregularly if you know what I mean? They are getting longer and happening more often, and are getting stronger but they aren't painful. But I seem to get them from doing nothing at all my c-section is 5 days away so I don't have any HUGE fear of going into labour before then but just wondering how many had this happen and are still pregnant my cervical mucous has also picked up a lot especially when I go pee.

UPDATE; ok since about 7:48 pm They have quickened up, I was having them randomly, then 3-5 mins apart, and then right on top of each other, they became more intense and were wrapping around my back and sometimes into my thighs but they weren't what I would call painful. I have just chugged a bottle of water and ate dinner and are waiting to see if they continue. Should I go to L&D ? or just wait it out? I have only ever gone into labour once and it was only after my water broke first.

Oh I had those darn contractions for what seems like forever and they were actually doing something. Caused me to dilate to a 5. I had spent the whole day shopping the day I checked into the hospital to see what was up and was having BH the whole time. They never hurt at all, I could just feel the good 'ol tightening. They would also happen when I would do nothing at all. You might keep and eye on them!

I have nothing going on! My tummy gets tight sometimes.. but I don't feel it like.. a coming and going tightness except once in a blue moon. The same with back pain.. lots of back pain but not unbearable and just kind of constant, worse at certain times than others but not coming and going really. I'm starting to get all the "anything yet?" questions too! ;\ booooo

Yea the day they started being more "regular" I was having some pack pain and period cramps going on, the back pain and period type cramping still happens a bit too.

maybe I'll be getting them soon then.. because the back pain and random bouts of cramping and just tight tummy feeling have definitely increased in the past few days. not to mention this child feels like he had a major growth spurt recently too! lol

Maybe they are doing something....With my girls and Lane I never had strong contractions or regular ones, just what I thought was bh and I was in labor with both of them. To bad I didn't find this out with Lane till I was already in the middle of teh c-sec and doc could see my dialation from inside! He said oh looks like today would have been his birthday regardless! Grrr lol. Apparently all my kids sit on my nerves which makes it hard to feel contractions

Yep. I'm getting tons of BH, increased discharge and cramping as well but none of it consistant enough to be considered contractions or labor.

OMG, this makes me so happy. I have been so annoyed with these frequent contractions that feel like they're going nowhere. However, I still haven't lost my plug, that I'm aware of, so maybe they're not doing anything after all. I really hope they are, though! Maybe I'll ask my midwife to check at my next appointment.
