Hi,

this happened to me too at about this stage. I panicked (as I did with a lot of things!) and phoned the midwife. was told it more than likely was, and to rest and drink lots of water. this did seem to help. Good luck, and enjoy the resting! xx

I didn't get them until I was gone 30 weeks but I was told if they disappear when you change what you are doing then it's Braxton hicks. That sounds confusing lol! So if you were lying down and having them, then walking would stop them...or the other way around! Make sense??!
