Did anyone have Braxton hicks that hurt a little with lower back pain that didn't turn into labour?
I'm currently 38+5 with DS2 & was woken up at 6am this morning by tightening of my stomach which hurt a little - mostly uncomfortable, but also back pain. They disappeared a little this afternoon but have been back for a while now, also accompanied by upper leg pain. I've never had back pain WITH BH in either pregnancy except from after my waters broke with DS1 & the BH were obviously contractions that were mild (not that they stayed that way - I wish!) which then progressed into established labour.
I had a MW appointment this afternoon so mentioned it to her & she advised that I keep a very close eye on it & possibly start timing as it can all ramp up out of nowhere, especially as it's not my first & because I'm booked in for a section on Monday due to previous birth complications!
Basically I'm looking for some reassurance that this is nothing & baby will stay put til Monday haha!! But if your story is the opposite of that then I'd still love to hear. I love a good birth story anyway!
