I'm 26wks and currently in hospital. I've been having real contractions since 24wks. They start at the top of my tummy and if I put my hand at the top of my uterus I can feel it get hard. They're different to bh as I get a lot of pressure and cramping with them that I can't talk through. However my dr is not concerned as I only get a couple a day and its usually from dehydration and walking.  He says they are uterine contractions not early labour as there is no pattern to them and they go away if I lie on my side and drink water. Hope this info helps!
