Thank you for the advice. I will deffinately try your suggestions
Braxton Hicks contractions can hurt just as much or more than regular contractions. Drink some cold water and lay on your left side to see if the contractions slow down. Also, time them and if they are consistently 5-8 minutes apart and last for at least a 60 seconds, then I would definitely get checked out.
I went into natural labor with my first and didn't show up at the hospital until I was 5 cm, but when my second came along, I was in the doctor's office complaining of the horrible pain and they were actually just BH. I couldn't believe it......
My daughter is also expecting her second right now and she is 29 weeks and experiencing lots of new pains, so I understand. I hope you feel better soon, but try that little trick above and see if it helps.
