im 37+ 5 and been having a lot of pain. Last night i started with contractions about 2.15pm they started and got closer and stronger. This went on until 3.30 am and i really thought he was on his way. And they have eased off again its soooooo frustrating i don't really want him to come early but i can't do nothing im so sore and can't walk propperly i this common with your second and third child. multiple False alams
