Trying not to overreact. Braxton Hicks?

[monkeyfacegrace]

History is carried dd at 40+4
Carried DS to 32+6 before my waters went and I gave birth to him at 33+4.

I'm now 32+2 with dd2.

I've never had braxton hicks before. I've felt unwell all day with high back pain (kidney sort of areas, high up to either side). Have been soaking in the bath for an hour and my bump keeps going rock hard and I'm getting lots of pain. But feels more like muscle pain around bump than the period pain type of contractions that I had with dd and ds.

It's almost squeezing my bladder and really hurting.

And baby hasn't moved for a few hours, though was kicking like made this morning.

I'm just being stupid aren't I. It's all fine.

Well done for holding on in there monkey. It sounds like a nightmare!

I understand completely. I had several scares at around this time and then a follow up scan at 35 weeks. I said to the sonographer "with all this worry I just want her out". She scanned me and said 'I think you're going to get your wish -there's no growth whatsoever.'
