@Rhi I’d say like it’s really uncomfortable and like im being stretched, but I was having like a pain in my pelvic and I still have it now but it’s like achy now x
@Remee I would say it’s more than likely Braxton hicks then, which aren’t uncommon. The pelvic pains are also very common, I’ve had those constantly since 36 weeks😮💨 However, if you’re concerned, call triage for advice - it is better to be safe than sorry xx
@Rhi I was thinking that, im going to leave it and go to sleep but i think if I get any more belly pain i will call triage x
@Remee if they're still happening when you wake up then try timing them and ring for advice x

Are the tightenings painful or just really uncomfortable? As Braxton Hicks shouldn’t be painful, so if the tightenings are painful, I would call Triage for advice x
