I woke up at 3.45am this morning with a shooting sensation from my middle back.
Since then, I'm getting regular stabbing/sharp pains specifically in my lower part of my bump. Every 7-8 minutes lasting 40-60 seconds.
I've tried to change positions thinking that this will help if they're BH, but they're still happening. I have to breathe through the tightenings.
I called up labour ward triage and was told to monitor and if they become more frequent (every 5 minutes) then to call up again.
I was induced with my first so have no idea what it feels like to go into labour naturally.
I'm also 38+3. Does this sound like early labour or Braxton Hicks?
(Waters haven't yet broken either)
