Had minor contractions overnight which have stopped?

Hi I'm 37/38 weeks. Yesterday I did quite a bit of walking, and when I went to bed I had period type pains in my pelvis and lower back, then throughout the night I've had tightening sensations around my abdomen, coming every 10 minutes or so...This morning it's all completely stopped. We're these Braxton Hicks? X

Sounds like it! Was your stomach getting really tight??

@Sdebeebee Yes tummy was getting tight and had lower back pain to

Sounds like braxton hicks! getting some practice in for the real thing 🥳

I'm 37/38 and had the exact same. Genuinely thought it was starting as I was awake until 3am with the period like cramps. Woke up and nothing! That's as 4 days ago lol

Just practicing I guess - this is my second so I ought to know better
