Early labour or naughty falseness?

[Teej]

Ok what do you think?
Woke up and felt a bit odd with period crampiness, popped off to do me shopping and noticed alot of "tightenings" which were a bit more uncomfy than the very frequent BHs i have been getting. Came home as wasn't happy and started to time them - 3 minutes apart on the dot
This carried on for over an hour then i went for a little walk to see what that would do but stayed much the same. Also i've been for a lie down and carried on timing after- still every 3 mins They weren't painful just uncomfortable but getting much stronger now all round into my back, i still wouldn't say they were painful as such but they're not nice.

Sounds like it could be labour!

From what I;ve read BH don;t come in a regular pattern where as contractions do.

Fingers crossed for you, maybe try a bath if they are already 3 mins apart, it might help to get things moving and be nice and relaxing too.

Oh it could be how our things now hun any further BH ??
Ive had increased BH all week but nothing as regular as every 3 minutes

wow these May babies dont mess about do they there isnt going to be many left on Jades list soon

This could be it, keep timing to ensure they are regular and make a note of them so you can ascertain whether this is early labour.

Still 3-4 minutes apart and getting a bit stronger
Had walks, had a lie down, had a shower, nothing seems to deter them. This has been pretty consistent since i started timing at 11.45.
Going to time them for another half hour and maybe call for advice in a bit, gonna feel like a right tit though when they tell me i have weeks to go yet!
Thanks for your replies.

Hiya have been getting that too. i think we're due on the same day actually!!

It gets stronger for me when im up on my feet walking about, mine have been abt every 10 mins for about 3 days its just enough to take my breath away a bit but i know im not in labour as my labour pains from my last 2 were a lot stronger.

Im thinking its my body getting ready for the real thing which doesnt seem that long away!

As yours are every 3 minutes maybe you are in early labour i have my fingers crossed for you.

Hello sorry not been on all weekend as bad things have been happening with evil neighbours (but thats another story!)
Things had slowed a little yesterday not quite as often and today seem to have calmed right down...so i guess it was a good old false alarm
Can't believe BHs could come soooo regularly every 3 minutes all day though it was amazing!
Hope all are well

I have heard on here that people can be in slow labour...It can appear to stop, then come back with force....So, watch this space
