How do you know if it's preterm labor or BH?

Question

I'm having constant period like cramping that shoots around and down my thighs and my stomach is almost always right. At my check up my doctor said to drink more water which I have been doing but it's constant pain. I can't time them or anything because it doesn't go away. How do I know if it's serious or just my body doing its thing to get ready?? I'm 35 weeks.

Answer

Try having a warm shower/bath and having a rest.. 
If the pain is still there after an hour or two I'd call your midwives just to double check.. 
If the pain becomes worse then I'd call straight away. 
It could just be that baby is in a bad position, or baby could be moving lower into your pelvis which causes a lot of discomfort and sometimes pain.. 
But usually preterm labour/early labour starts in your back!
