Hi there, I'm currently 27+5 weeks pregnant but I've been feeling sharp pains every now and then I can only describe as period pains.
It was quite nasty the other night, then it goes quiet, but it can spike up again at times. It's never painful enough to make me jolt or yell out, just enough for me to notice
(I'm unlucky enough to get painful period pains so I might just be used to sharp pains at this point).
I did message my midwife and she said to keep an eye out for water or blood - which I've had none. But I have had a LOT of pressure very low down. I feel like if I cough he'll fall out sometimes!
Baby is still wiggling around like a champ as usual, no worries there. I finally got diagnosed with severe SPD - so is this pain just linked to that? Or is it part of Braxton Hicks?
This is my first baby and haven't had many antenatal classes yet so I have no idea what the difference is between Hicks and labour. And if this 'period pain' is part of 3rd trimester.
Anyone else have/had this? Is it alarming? I don't really want to make my way to the hospital and risk panicking myself if it's just a normal thing.
