I have started having period pain cramping - that feeling when your period feels like it is starting. I have also had some sharp pains at the bottom of my bump. Are these likely to be contractions?

That's how contractions feel for me, I've never really had the tightening sensation people talk about. I've been getting period type cramps for about 2 weeks now though, will have a load of irregular contractions pretty much every night and then they just stop and don't come to anything 😅 would advise trying to ignore them until they become something you can't ignore, if they start to feel more regular it's worth timing them but wait as long you can before going to hospital, you will 100% know if you are in labour trust me. Nothing worse than jumping the gun, going in too soon and being sent home again!
Can anyone please help me advise what to buy for my hospital bag when it comes to maternity pads/knickers? I am very stuck! Not sure obviously whether this will end in vaginal birth or c section, but any recommendations would be very handy!

I had my first scan and baby is looking very healthy so far! (Measuring around 9 weeks) I do have some health problems and considered high risk so it was a big relief to know that so far everything is going okay
