Braxton Hicks, Shoulders??

Hi ladies,

Anyone experienced this. I'm 37 weeks, and keep getting the most crazy baring down sensation/tension in my shoulders, where I have to kind of breath through it until it goes. But it's not pain as such.

I had my DS at 37.5 weeks, and had braxton hicks (I think?) but nothing like this. Can you experience practice contractions in other parts of your body like this, or am I just going off my rocker. It's so strange. I mentioned it to midwife last week who just give me a lip curling, who knows, stop your complainign sort of look. They're getting much stronger now though.

Any insight so much appreciated.

Thanks,
Syrup
