35 weeks period like pains
I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant.
I woke up last night with period like pains and lower back pain that made me feel slightly sick, it wasn’t enough to be in excruciating pain but enough to be pulling a face if that makes sense.
I did have to sit up because of the pain, should I be worried?

Sounds like braxton hicks if it had been true labour it would get increasingly intense. Most of the time if you call the hospital unless your waters have actually gone they will say that it's braxton hicks and to wait and see unless there are other issues (like the picture above Helen posted) they won't want you to go in x
Mucous plug breaking most likely. Call the doctors

Have they stopped now? If they aren’t increasing in intensity and getting closer together, it’s probably braxton hicks. But obv if ur worried, pop a call to ur midwife to put ur mind at rest.
