Braxton hicks or something else?
I’m 31+4 and keep getting tightness in my belly that’s accompanied by a mild period pain feeling in my lower back. It lasts a couple of minutes then eases off.
Is that braxton hicks or could it just be baby moving? It happens on and off through the day but is more obvious during the night.

Hey, I would always say ring triage. Always best safe 😀 xx
Check with triage/ midwife if you're not sure. I get this a couple of times a day, more uncomfortable now baby is head down. Actual contractions are more consistent, closer together and increasing in intensity and frequency over time x
I’ve also been getting that and I’m in my 32 weeks bracket but I keep getting told braxton and how I’d know if it was the real thing because it’s more consistent and painful
