B/H / Contractions

Lianne

38 weeks today! Lastnight, I started having tightenings which were coming every 10 mins, then 7 mins, then back to 10 again, until I finally dropped off to sleep and they must have faded away, also had strong backache with it. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, what came of it? Obviously it wasn't the real thing, so must be a practice run with my body gearing up for the real thing ..
