Omg this funny I have the same thing as you! I just can't tell. I just know that I haven't been able to sleep since two days... I am also 38 weeks + 5

I would love to read comments from others too 🙏🏼

I’ve got similar.. period pains, braxton hicks and my groin is killing me. I can barely walk (38w 3days)

I’m exactly the same, 39 weeks. I’ve been thinking it could be the latent stage of labour but could also just be body preparing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Has anyone gone to be checked out ?

I haven’t as don’t think there is a need to. I’m not sure there’s anything they’d do, unless you were concerned about baby then they’d do CTG monitoring I imagine, or if your waters do break, you have any bleeding or the pain is unbearable. Otherwise it’s a case of waiting until the contractions become more regular and have a pattern.

I’ve been having this for 2 weeks- called the midwife and she said body’s preparing for labour.

I'm the same and 36+4. Got my Csection booked for 2.5weeks time but I feel like I won't get there!!!

I’ve had the same thing for the last week or so (38+6) and my midwife said it’s normal, just the body preparing for labour. I’ve also been losing my mucus plug over the last couple of days (I think).

I’m under the impression that unless it’s contractions or your waters break the hospital won’t do much, but if in doubt I would contact triage, they may be able to advise you better :) x

I’ve had this the last 3-4 days too. I’m 38+2, I was in triage and sent for a scan due to reduced movements and a dr checked my cervix and all was ok. The period pains/back pains and major pressure are just preparation for labour which could last a few weeks he said! Then saw my midwife today and she said the same. Hang in there 🥲
