Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It's more than likely to be Braxton hicks, sort of pretend contractions, google it though as I'm sure there's a time limit before you should get yourself do a & e

Good luck

Get a bath

If it stops it's nothing to worry about

Warm bath and if it carries on then a quick call to the midwife. Better to check.

How long would you wait to call?

See if it stops in the bath

If it doesn't call them

ShergarAndSpies · 12/07/2014 21:57

How long have you been having the pains?

OsMalleytheCat · 12/07/2014 22:00

If you're worried, call her now, that's what she's there for!

Gas? Constipation? May sound silly but those can make it hurt real bad. I used to be so frightened!

Phone your midwife just to check. I phoned mine with awful pains which turned out to be trapped wind.

I once went to A & E (whilst pregnant) with chest pains to be told I had heartburn it sounds ridiculous now but at the time I was petrified and all the nurses were lovely, honestly just call your midwife it will put your mind at ease!
