I'm pregnant with twins 3rd pregnancy, and for a few nights experiencing bh

They can wake me up and be slightly painful

Earlier tonight about 7ish I lay down I'm bed as felt breathless, and then realised how uncomfortable my bump was whuch was bh
Lasted a few minutes made my whole body tense and was breathless the whole time

Kept getting bh for next hour but not as bad, and a bit in back

Taken paracetamol which has relaxed me

Have felt very unsettled all evening and have had a cry.
Feel like my body is exhausted but I can't sleep

Also felt pressure down there

Any advice or shall I ring mw?

Hi butterfly. I would ring the midwife, she will know whether it's anything to worry about. Don't worry about bothering her - it is her job after all!
Take care of yourself.

Hi, I'm on my 3rd pregnancy but with 1 baby, I'm 15+6 and have been getting them a few weeks although they wasn't uncomfy or anything til very recent, then I started getting them quite regular and really uncomfortable, my bump felt tender and it gave me back ache and period type pain. I went in to ne checked. I think you should give your midwife a call, it may just be because its your 3rd and you have 2 babys In there, but its best to get advice.

Congrats on your twins :) x
