Hi,
Im a little bit concerned, hoping for advice!

Since around 6.00 this morning i have had weird little and i mean little contractions.
Nothing painful, but i know they are there.
They dont seem to have a pattern (to be honest i only just started tracking them as i kind of slept through the earlier ones)

They seem to come in 2 tiny waves, very close together but lasting no more than a coupe of seconds each....,

They do sound more like braxton hicks, than real labour,
But this is my 2nd pregnancy and i had nothing like this with my 1st. Untill i was actually in labour @ 40wks

Should i be worried??

It sounds to me like braxton hicks, I've had a few episodes like this with all three pregnancies. However, if you are worried it won't hurt to call your midwife to check.

I did end up phoning the midwife, as i almost fainted after 1 of the contractions so thought i'd best be safe.
She came out and checked me out, said everything with the baby was good but she thought i had a urine infection!
Went to the dr with a sample and i do, so now on a weeks course of antibiotics.
Thanks for your advice! ;-)
