Strong pains at 31 + 5

Hi - I’ve been getting some sharp stabbing pains at the top of my bump in the same place for the last few nights. Tonight I’ve had the most awful tight / tense feeling all around my bump - like someone is squeezing a belt around it - to the point I’ve had tears. I’ve just had a shower to see if it will help relieve some of the tension which it has a little but there’s still some tightness there. This is my second baby but with my first I had a failed induction leading to an emergency section so never had any ‘real’ contractions. Google has me leaning towards Braxton Hicks - just wondering if people have experienced similar? Thanks!

Better safe than sorry. Any pain that brings tears should be checked.

I had this in my last pregnancy at around the same time. Everything was fine, but I would call triage just to check everything's ok x
