Braxton hicks

Is there such thing as too much braxton hicks? Today I seem to be getting them constantly and it’s a lot more than usual

No, its fairly common to even have 1 or 2 an hour, id definitely say drink more right now though, as dehydration can be a cause for them being so frequent. Although id definitely say contact your midwife if you're under 37 weeks, waters broken, any vaginal bleeding and if they get stronger and closer together

I turned 37 weeks today and had around 10 an hour last night. Iv been having them since 20 weeks and they normally come more in the evening but definitely coming on more!
It’s so normal, and unfortunately signifies nothing to do with labour 💀😂 xx

I went to the hospital at 33/34 weeks due to having a full day with them they were horrible I've had them since but definitely not as much as that day it's usually on and off so next time they bad it will most likely be really labour contractions due to me now being 39 weeks

Do I need to call?

I’m 27+6, and baby was SUPER quiet this morning. She’s now started moving normally again.

Do I still need to call in or can I just continue monitoring?

Party Bags

Where do we stand with party bags? 😫
My daughters second birthday is October and we don’t really know LOADS of kids, literally maybe a handful and majority are family, and we’re having a party for her like we did for her first but unsure wether to do party bags.

My nieces second birthday was over the weekend and they done party bags but it was all small things that I actually had to confiscate as choking hazards 😫

Do we do them this young? My other niece last year complained there was no party bags 🤣🤣

Line progression

The top is from Saturday and the bottom is today. Does the line progression look okay? I’m 4 weeks and 2 days

First appointment

Is it normal to not have the first appointment until like 8 weeks? Feels like a while but I literally have no idea.

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 😂.

Induction window

Advice please 😊
I was given an induction window Friday - Today and was told I could expect a call day or night to go to hospital to be induced. They haven’t phoned me as of yet, is it worth ringing them or waiting it out? Has anyone else experienced this? Not really sure what I do if they don’t call me tonight.
Thank you!!
