Just been woken up with cramps. They started around 8pm last night. DC2. 37+3. Very similar to labour starting with DD. I have taken some paracetamol. Eeeek! Bloody TENS machine arriving tomorrow.

Yup. Dirty Dancing DVD on. Cramps have reduced though. Might go back to bed.

At least dirty dancing is an improvement on the crappy TV! Hope you can get some rest and your TENS arrives early.

Hi Stargirl, 37 + 4 here and I had something similar last night! Got out the car and had a dull ache right at the bottom of my bump and backache. Waddled around to the flat thinking hmmm....and then it went away after bouncing on my ball for 10 mins. Woke up in the night with it too but I would say it's quite mild so I don't think anything is happening yet....no other signs to speak of. Wonder if it's just Braxton Hicks?

I'm 36+5 I've got cramps also they are constant and bit stronger than they were yesterday might ring midwife at 9 for some reassurance.

They were more than Braxton Hicks but have come to nothing. I had a long lie this morning as MIL has DD. Resting up!
