braxton hicks and lower back pain 😢

[SolitaA]

I have been having braxton hicks all day (and for weeks - but without pain) today they've ramped up and I have had constant back ache - I have had a hot shower on blasting at my back, heat pack on it, paracetamol and a hot bath too, nothing is easing it. Its my 3rd baby and I feel like I normally do from around 38 weeks where everything is very heavy and clearly getting ready for labour. My worry is that I am a high risk pregnancy and I am only 26 weeks. I have a scan and day assessment every Tuesday and I am meeting consultant next Fri for 28 week review. Am I overthinking, or should I phone in? TIA

I would just phone the mat assessment unit.
It really is what they are there for

Thanks, I always feel reserved because I am constantly there for check ups don't want them thinking I am being a drama queen.

I would defo phone up. I’m having this now and I’m 35 weeks tomorrow xx
