    Hi Dionne,

    When I get them it feels a bit like my whole belly has expanded and feels really tight and goes solid. I've been getting them since about 20 odd weeks but lately they are stronger and last longer so hoping they will turn into reall contractions!

    Nicki.x :D

    Yeah, probably is. For ages I thought the same thing, that it was baby sticking his bum in the air or had turned into a funny position but then it dawned on me that it was probably B/H, I then started to take more notice after that. They don't really hurt, just feels really tight.
