does it mean i wont cope if im having painful braxton hicks?
...
morning ladies!....
im 40 +3 today!.. and still nothing apart from the odd bout of braxton hicks.. which im finding increasingly painful....
does this mean i wont cope with the proper contractions?... im worried because i can find these BH's so painful that i wont cope in real labour. ...
hope you dont mind me posting here instead of the labour forum, but i figure you've all been through yours and have your babies.. so you can advise me...
(had a previous c section so i still dont know what to expect this time round)
thanks ladies...

im thinking im a complete wimp if these are braxton hicks....
the only thing is ive had them on and off on certain evenings and nothing for the past two days..... can labour be like this?...
slow labour? xx
thanks for yor reassurance...
i really didnt think my pain tollerance was that low!... im usually pretty good with pain...
would you recommend i do that?...
im just absolutely gutted its not all kicked off yet.
im waiting in anticipation now...
thanks again for taking the time to post girls...
I was going through my old posts yesterday and i posted something very similar and then 3 days later bubba was born, they were worse in the evenings and i thought something was up.
Re pain, i am the biggest wimp in the whole world, i cry when i prick my finger but in labour something took over me and i managed quite well (tho too be fair never got to push as had to have another em sec after 36 hours BUT really pleased i experienced it)
Good luck looking forward to reading your birth story.

I couldn't understand it because i'd heard they weren't meant to be painful but mine definitely were!
However I had no pain relief while i gave birth (except for perthadine which did nothing) and coped fine, so don't worry sweetie!
Ooo how exciting for you x
You'll be great hun and looking forward to hearing all about you lo! x
