Has anyone else experienced this? For the last two nights I have been having contractions that a painful like period cramps, lasting for around a min each every 10 mins, they are regular and are like that for hours leading up to me going to sleep. Each time I have gone to sleep hoping that they get stronger and ultimately wake me up in the night being more painful and closer together, but when I wake up in the morning they are gone?! What is this? Is this the starting of labour? Has anyone else experienced this? I was so hopeful last night and am so disappointed this morning to be looking at another day of waiting.
