so,woke up at 3.30am and havent been back to sleep since as i started getting stomach tightenings.
Ive been timing but they have been coming at all different rates
4 mins apart
3mins
7mins
2mins
3mins
5mins
6mins
3mins
4mins
And they have been carrying on like that all morning i think the longest break in between has been 14mins.
Now they arnt really painfull,i get a back pain first then a second or so later my whole stomach hardens for half a min and sometimes longer.
What are your opinions from your experience?im going to see my midwife in a bit but got to take my son to nursery 1st in a min.

sounds like it could be Preterm labor. You need to hydrate - Hydration usually will help. I think going to your midwife is a good idea - hopefully because they aren't painful they aren't doing anything. Good luck.

This could be it but because its very irregular they may strap you to a machine and check them. They could very well stop your contractions too but you could also be hooked up to a drip to see if they can regulate them and deliver this baby if they think its right! 35 weeks gestation carries some risks but ordinarily babies are fine and only need a short stay in a pre-natal care unit.
Best of luck and make sure you don't drive you son to nursery school, take a cab or have someone take you incase the contractions increase in intensity.

braxton hicks are not regular you should be at the hospital getting checked if it is labour you need to be in hospital right away with it being early. sounds like labour to me they dont normal let you deliver till at least 37 weeks unless babies distressed. good luck

they can be both... but you shouldn't have them that many really... as long as the baby moving, you can feel the activities of it and YOU ARE NOT BLEEDING then there is nothing wrong...
but at your stage the baby grows bigger and in a matter of a week it can b ready for birth.. good luck
