This is just ongoing now and I'm feeling fed up and deflated.

Went to epu yesterday due to increasing braxton hicks. They weren't too concerned as cervix was closed.

I have a history of preterm labour and my next cervical length scan is Monday.

Today I have woken up with bad lower back back and period type cramps. No bleeding. Guess I am seeking reassurance really if this is a normal symptom for this gestation?

I'm just waiting out for Monday so I can see what my cervix is doing and go from there xx

It can be completely normal.
But also hard to say when you're at risk of pre term labour!
Sorry you're going through it. It must be a huge worry ❤️

I've taken a couple of paracetamol and they've eased up; thinking if it was anything more serious they wouldn't really do much... xx
