You just know Hun, I know everyone says that but you get to a point where you need to be checked or want reassurance. I had no pain but aware of a constant tightening so once this was really close together and lasting 1.5 mins I rang just so they could tell me if I was in labour or not.
I remember my legs aching quite a lot as well.
If you're worried I would get checked out x

I remember the midwife saying to me when I went in too early "when your climbing the walls come back in" I though I was but 2 hours later I knew what she meant!
