Am I having contractions?

Hi guys, Sorry if this is TMI but all last night and this morning I've been having what I can only describe as a quite painful pulling/stretching/stabbing pain low down in my vagina. It's really starting to hurt, it feels quite sharp and I have lower back pain and can't get comfortable. It keeps coming and going!! I can't really feel if my uterus is tightening or not because little lady is in a position where its rock hard anyway!

I’m having this right now! Feels different to my Braxton hicks so I’m guessing so 😬

@Gemma weird isn't it?! It feels like I'm being scratched from the inside?! And when I stand up it's even worse! Is yours the same? Haven't noticed a pattern yet though! 🤔

@Beth yeah it’s so sharp! Standing up is definitely worse. I had one every 2 hours or so last night, just thought I needed a poo tbh 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve been timing them for a couple of hours, they were irregular but now I’m only having one every 12 mins or so. I’m 41+1 so I’m more than ready for baby to arrive but I still don’t feel ready😬

@Gemma sounds like contractions! I'm pretty sure my waters are leaking and having pains every 30 mins or so now! 😁 I'm 38+1 and more than ready for baby girl to arrive! Stay positive, you've got this! 💗

@Beth it was contractions, I’ve had my baby 🥰

@Gemma ahhhhhh congratulations!!!! 💗💗💗
