I've posted a few times moaning about getting BHs.

I had them with DD last time (that was my 3rd pregnancy) but for about a month now I've been getting strong ones.

But today they have just been non-stop and really painful.

I think i might be a bit ill, i thought it was morning sickness come back- i was vomitting for a few days. Thats passed now but i just keep getting these hicks but like stomach cramps, like when you really need a poo so bad its painful, but i don't need to poo iykwim?

just moaning again really!!

Do you think you might have a UTI? That can cause an increase, as can bowel issues..

hmmm, yes i think I may actually.
should I go to the GP or midwife?

Either is fine, but you will need a GP to prescribe antibiotics. Usually the midwife can just ask a GP at the time so it's not an issue. So go with the one you are most likely to be able to see quickly! They'll do a wee sample and prescribe based on that probably.
