Hi everyone,

Just need some advice - FYI i am 39 weeks pregnant and this is my second pregnancy.

From noon today i keep getting stomach tightness and daggers and hip/back pain on and off but not regular enough to time as contractions.

When the daggers happen it takes my breath away and sometimes brings me to tears, i feel like my stomach is constantly hard aswell.

Has anyone ever had this??

I am guessing braxton hicks or could be early labour but once your in labour, I promise you will know 100%

I agree with @andanotherproblem - from my three I found that if you’re wondering whether or not it is labour, it sadly probably isn’t!

I’m hoping just BH to be fair! Don’t fancy giving birth in this heat - but the pain brings tears to my eyes, can’t remember BH being this painful 🤣💀
