Early labour or normal twinges?

[CoronaAndLime]

Am 31wks with no3 (you'd think I'd know it all by now lol!) and have been having a few (bit painful) braxton hicks.
Now I'm having achy type pains up inside fanjo (sorry but thats where it is ).

Anyone else had this? I'm a bit worried its all starting early and am a bit heasitant to call m/w as will look a bit of a tool if this is totaly normal.

I had shooting pains in my fanjo with all 3.

Have you been ill at all lately?

I started to get strong BHs and pains after a bug at about 32 weeks, turns out I was severly dehydrated and this can cause false labour.

Been really stressed but not dehydrated. i suffered from hyperemesis (constant sickness) and have these sticks to pee on that tell you if dehydrated or not so I know I'm ok in that way.

Are they pains you can handle?

I had lots of pains in pregnancy but they were never strong enough for me to be worried about them apart from when I was dehydrated.

If they are strong enough for you to be even slightly concerned then I would say get checked out.

Thanks I think I'll have a bath and see if that helps.

I could have given myself this advise but for some reason it is better when somone else tells you iykwim

Thanks
