Braxton Hicks usually resolve with a drink and rest and aren't regular. Are your contractions regular or getting closer apart?

Could be early labour, I was in early labour for a week untill my watwr broke in my 2nd pregnancy. How far apart or how often are contractions?

Then I definitely think it could be labour and would contact your midwives to check in with them

I did also read that heat can make you dehydrated which can bring on more braxton hicks. I had a day a few weeks ago at 29 weeks where I had quite a few braxton hicks and then it just stopped. I would say if they are intensifying or space between getting closer I would contact midwifery unit xx
