might be braxton hicks (false contractions/practice), ur body hasnt grown big enough and hes running outta space so hes all up against u, or just funny positions x

I had this to start with btw, went to triage and they confirmed with putting me on a monitor they were strong braxton hicks contractions. But during the night they got stronger and more regular so went into triage the next day saying about sleepless night them getting more regular and stronger they still thought it was braxton hicks when put on monitor again. By 12.30pm that day they said surprised I was actually 4cm dilated... so... keep an eye on it... ending up being a quick labour xx
