Braxton hicks

36+5 and for the past two days I’ve had such bad pain (period like cramp) at the same time as my tummy tightening. Comes and goes, irregular but I’m like having to breathe through it which is catching me off guard. Anyone else had it like that?

Me I have this today plus tightening of my stomach and small brown discharge , not sure what to make out of it. Midwife says perfectly normal

I’m 37+5 and I’ve been having Braxton hicks since around 30 weeks but recently they’ve been extremely uncomfortable and now they are becoming painful. I had a midwife appointment this morning and had a few of them whilst I was there. My midwife assured me that they were definitely just Braxton hicks but told me if they become regular/timeable with pains that increase after each one, then I should contact maternity assessment as soon as possible. I was cooking dinner tonight and got one that really did make me catch my breath and I actually found myself holding onto the worktop whilst “swaying” back and forth until it passed😵‍💫😂I’m so ready for this baby to come🤦‍♀️

I’m 36+ the braxton hicks and tightening is getting harder for me now, to walk properly is difficult because I’m feeling the baby head towards my pelvic area, short of breathe during the night and off and on cramps.
