So I’ve had a rough week icl with the MIL so has my husband.. I’m 34+3. Anyways after a stressful day today I have been having irregular period like cramps but it’s making my legs ache as well? No other symptoms at all just some lower back ache. I have zero idea what Braxton hicks are ment to feel like. Baby girl is moving like usual. (She is transverse breech atm also) the longest cramp lasted about 3 minutes I think. Do you reckon this is just normal stuff, nothing to actually be concerned about?

I don’t want to alarm you but it’s ok to go get checked at the hospital just to be 100% sure. I never felt Braxton hicks during pregnancy but the start of my contractions felt like period cramps and bad cramping down my legs. I hope it’s just Braxton hicks for you but if they become regular “period cramps” like pain you should 100% go in to get checked

I was told to drink 3 cups of water and go lay on my side. What should help stop Braxton hick contractions
