Constant Braxton hicks?

[Ultraviolett]

Has anyone else experienced constant Braxton hicks or stomach tightening? I’m 30 weeks and every 10-15minutes my stomach is going rock hard and I can feel the tightening also in my back? Feels like I want to go to the toilet each time?? Is this normal??

Hi, I’m not midwifery medical but yes this sounds exactly what I had with both of my DCs at the same gestation - they went on for a while! Needing the loo could just be due to where the baby is lying. Any concerns though please get a medical opinion.

If the feeling is regular and you can feel it in your back, get checked. It's probably fine, but both those things can be a sign of labour, so it's worth having extra reassurance.
