How long can this go on?

I'm having constant braxton hicks for 3-4 days with random back pain and lots of pressure down there ( yes defo braxton) baby dropped quite a bit last 48 hours, pooping and peeing loads. I've never experienced anything like this in previous two pregnancies.

my question - surely this can't go on for 6 weeks can it?

Advice? Similar experiences?

When was your urine last dipped? And when did you last see your midwife?

I'd consider a check up tbh.

V frequent braxton hicks are also common when dehydrated which is more likely given the hot weather. Are you drinking plenty?

I've got the midwife on Thursday so it will be done again then. I have a lot of glucose in my urine but that's been consistent through out and no Gest Diabetes.

I'm drinking a lot I think - maybe 1.5 - 2l a day of water plus other drinks.

It's my third child so feel silly asking these q's but this is very unfamiliar territory for me. X
