Hi all, once again in search for other mums experiences with this one please :)
I'm 19+3, I've had BH for a few weeks now (been told it's all normal), they don't come every day and, when they do come, they're not painful, just slightly uncomfortable at times.

Today I've felt a weird sensation though, been feeling baby move quite low in the pelvis and, at times, I feel like something that might be BH but it doesn't exactly feel like that, lasts much less and I feel like I must have a wee that very second. Could it be baby hanging out near my bladder and periodically pressing on it? I think she's also been playing on a nerve as I get lightning crotch at times too. I'm making sure to drink lots of water and move around a little as I've been sitting all day at my desk to work.

Any ideas? Thanks xx

Sounds like baby is just low and on your bladder.

sounds very normal op. Drink plenty of water which should help with the bh

Thanks ladies! I think she's also going through a growth spurt as bump has grown significantly since Monday lol. My jacket doesn't fit anymore

I had strange uterus contractions and braxton hicks from 16 weeks.
I thought this was extremely early but each time I was reassured by my consultant that I was still pregnant and hadn't gone into labour 🤷🏽‍♀️
34 weeks now 🙏🏽
