Braxton hicks

This is 3rd baby, 30 weeks. I'm booked in for elective but over last few weeks I've started having braxton hicks. There was an incident last week where I thought they were more (I have been really stressed out this pregnancy) and they became really painful in my front and back (made me cry) and I had back pains and a hard tummy all evening.

Since then I've been warned to go in if it happens again but I'm continuing to have usual uncomfortable Braxtons but it feels like I need to go tmi poo or push sensation when I have them?

With my other two I just had tightenings so I never really noticed them and I never really had contractions that were not drip induced, so I don't want to waste people's time. Anyone else had this?

I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my first. My partner left me and I'm back living with my dad for now. My mother died last year so I've no-one to ask for advice, so thought I'd try here.

The last 2 days I've had servere stomach pains like a stomach bug and had loose bowels on and off. Early hours this morning the pains were that harsh they woke me up and I had to go to the bathroom.

My stomach tightens around the time of the pains and then loosens again once they've gone.

Baby is still moving around.

Does this sound like braxton hicks? Or just a stomach bug? Or something else?
