bags packed are a good idea ! good luck i am gald the pains have eased off for you !
Well if there is no Definate start and stop to these pains, they are not "contractions" take a nice warm bath, or do a couple streches.....
It only lasted that night and part of the day. The rest of the day and last night till now I havnet had them that bad. My bags are packed anyway!
Where abouts are the pains ? if it cramping pains it could be contractions it could be braxton hicks (fake contractions) i have been getting them i am 32 weeks although i must say not as intense as you are saying your's are if you are in that much pain and brought to tears i would go to the docs / hospital just to be sure, i got the same advice of people when i started to get them if they get very painfull or regular then go to hospital, you are 37 weeks so baby is almost full term my midwife said baby can come anytime from 37 weeks and this is classed as a normal birth !! good luck !
