Braxton hicks?

I think I’m having occasional Braxton Hicks contractions today - I can’t be sure though but it feels like a period cramps/squeezing really low down in my abdomen.
Anyway, they’ve been really irregular, like 1 every few hours for a few mins, I’m just wondering if I should maybe track them on the contraction timer app just to be sure there’s no pattern? Has anyone else done this? I don’t wanna overreact 😂.

I had period style pain on Friday, like aching in my lower back and around the front, with occasional cramping. Unfortunately it all went away that evening and I haven’t really felt anything since.
I have an independent midwife and I let her know, she said it sounded like my cervix was making changes but not be disheartened if everything stopped and that it could even be another couple of weeks 😩

So much pain

Any advice I Will take it!!

The last couple of days my pain has gone from a 2 to a 8 where I've got tears in my eyes.
Feels like the baby is either pushing in the pelvic bone or digging into to ribs.
Ive taken paracetamols and tried heat on my hooch.
Can't rest because I have a 3 year old.
Im debating phoning triage and my community midwife isn't very good.
Advice please

Bump size

For context - I'm Size 8, 5"1
Late afternoon/eveing my bump gets a lot bigger.

I went out for food last night and the waitress asked how far along I was, when I told her just gone 4 months (17 wks, 2 day) she said wow are you having twins I was so shocked and felt huge! I said no, we've have 3 scans and definitely only 1 baby. She proceeded to say we should get a second opinion as I look about 6 months.

It's been on my mind all night!

I have a really healthy diet, loads of fruit and veg. (Cravings of cucumber and bell peppers)

Am I just taking this too personal? Has anyone else experienced comments like this? Xxx

Confused about preop

I keep seeing posts about section pre op appointments but I haven’t been given one ? Does everyone have one or is it trust dependent
I will give them a ring in a min but wanting to see if anyone else hasn’t had one?
