3rd child you would think i would know but it's been a very long time.
Around 4pm yesterday my bump felt hard bit like braxton hicks but not on and off almost like someone had vacum packed my tummy....
Followed by awful period pains ...
Laid down and relaxed until bed went to sleep fine then woke up around 1am until 3am with the same thing ...
Got up this morning felt like crap got the children to school and then laid back down still the same no consistency just constant period pain.
No other signs ...
Is this just braxton hicks ramping up or super slow early labour?
38+3 booked for c section 39+6

I've been experiencing this for weeks now and it's just been Braxton Hicks for me, can last ages and comes with the period like pains you're describing. I'm 39+5

the same for me. I am 38 weeks 3 days. No other signs apart from Braxton Hicks.

Must just be the braxton hicks getting a little more intense, I guess .....this part isn't fun 😆
