I had it all day and left it, it got quite painful so thats why I had gone up to the hospital. I didn't have any discharge or spotting either. Try some paracetamol and a hot water bottle or even a bath to take the pressure off. Don't worry to much about it :) xx

Im 34 + 3 went to the hospital with the exact same thing last night. I got put on the machine. Turned out I was having mild contractions but got told its nothing to worry about and that I've just to rest more now. They said its normal and can go on for weeks. They booked me in for 2 extra appointments just to make sure nothings wrong. If your worried just call them xx

I am having the same problem. My stomach keeps getting hard and tightening but I'm not feeling any pain. I can time the hardening and they are about 15 minutes apart. But when ever I call my doctor he says to just stay home. I am also having a lot of pressure and horrible pelvic pain to where I can't get up on my own.. I wouldn't hesitate to call your Dr if you have questions. Hopefully he answers yours better than my doctor answered mine.
