Braxton hicks or labour?

Give triage a call, better to be safe than sorry. Braxton hicks are usually just uncomfortable. Try timing your pains

I’ve literally not long left there like 2 days ago due to being ill🥲 I feel stupid keep going up there if it’s nothing. Just worried as I’m due to have a section. Xx

i’d call for advice anyway but when i called the midwife told me that if changing positions/rocking/stretching eases it off then it’s most likely painful braxton hicks but if you can’t get them to ease off at all during them or if they get worse when you move and change position then it’s more likely to be contractions x

don’t ever feel stupid for going up or getting in contact with triage gal! They are there to help and give you reassurance too! I’d definitely phone for advice 🤍

Agree with triage call. My midwife told me the difference between braxton hicks and contractions is that contractions can be felt from the lower back to the front, and are more painful than uncomfortable. If I was feeling what you describe I'd definitely give triage a call just to be sure.
