Ok so I am 35+3 with DC2 had DC1 at 37+2.
For the last few days I have had sharp pains going from what I think is my cervix up to belly button lasting only a few seconds takes my breath away they are so painful but then all is good. Today I have started to have what I think are braxton hicks not painful but uncomfortable as they are so tight. Lasted a few seconds to start with but now lasting a bit longer. Earlier on today I was rather damp down below and I'm not 100% convinced it was tmi but sweat or wee. I put a pad on and don't seem to have anything else over around 9 hours.

I will call triage if I become worried however I just wanted your ladies experience/thoughts?

Thanks x

Don't worry about tmi!
With regard to possibility of your going into labour, I don't know because I'm not a medical professional. It's likely but please ring your mw or triage. Good luck!

Thank you for your response! Iv had no further water loss still have tightening and sharp pains occasionally. I have midwife appointment on Wednesday so I'll see if I can manage until then. When ever I call triage they have you come in and it's normal to have a 7 hour wait! 😵

Paracetamol, bath and put your feet up. If pain is getting more frequent (2:10) and stronger I would go in to your triage area
