I have PTSD from my first child birth

I’ve been having tightenings and period like cramps all day today with some mild back pain, I’m only 34 weeks tomorrow but I actually am so scared of going into the maternity wards!
I know braxton hicks can feel worse with each pregnancy so maybe just having lots of them?
Do I just wait a little and see if they go on their own with a good night sleep and some paracetamol? 😫🥴😓

I'm sorry to hear that 😟 I think the recommendation for Braxton Hicks is hydration, position change and rest, so absolutely a good night sleep and some paracetamol should help. X
