braxton hicks

I had this with my first pregnancy and ended up losing my mucus plug and going in for monitoring - they never told me this is what it was but google 'prodromal labour' because I'm pretty sure that's what it was! Do you find that the tightenings stop when you move positions or is it constant?

@Kirsty i’ve just googled it and it seems very accurate! what happened after that if you don’t mind me asking? they don’t really go off after moving but they only last about 30 seconds or so, they’re just incredibly consistent x

I had Braxton hicks from 24 weeks and got very intense. Sometimes I could them for hours every couple mins and now where off for awhile. I still get them now and either have really good days or bad days with them x

I stayed in for monitoring for a few days until the mucus plug stopped coming. I was still getting tightenings that they said weren't braxton hicks but they were happy for me to go. Baby stayed another 6 weeks without any further issue until my planned c section date! Feel free to message if helpful x
