Belly tightening
Hi all, I’m 30 weeks tomorrow and for the past 1/2 weeks I have had a lot of braxton hicks that actually hurt and last quite a while. This morning my belly also aches like I’ve done loads of sit ups or something, has anyone else had this? Thanks!

I'm 32 weeks tomorrow and I just started getting these yesterday. It's a very weird feeling and got slight period type cramps to go with it.
@Charlotte yeah and a little back pain too x
i’ve experienced this too over 27-28 weeks, midwife said it was nothing out of the ordinary

It’s best not to worry yourself too much, but give your midwife a call just in case. I had a period when I had loads all together but recently they’ve quietened down. Sometimes the best thing to do is the opposite of what you’re doing. If you’re sitting down a lot go for a walk. If you’re moving about a lot have a rest. Keep yourself hydrated as well.
