Braxton hicks or something else?
For the last week I’ve been on off having the feeling like my period is about to start. I’m almost 33 weeks so obvs that’s not about to happen 🤣 but I’m just curious is that braxton hicks? It doesn’t hurt really just uncomfortable and quite low down not really on my bump which is what I’d have expected?

check with your midwife if your unsure but it took me 2 weeks so to realise my cramps were braxton hicks x
@Queen Sarah stomach doesn’t seem to be getting hard when it happens but it is on and off so I’m assuming it probably is x
Braxton Hicks feel more like your bump (all or just part of it) tightening. I suspect the discomfort you're describing has more to do with your baby's head pressing against something
I’ve been having them for about a day now and I get slight period cramps and tightness all across bump… I went to triage today as I reduced movements and they’ve said baby is 1/5 engaged and I’m 33 weeks tomorrow… so the cramping could be baby positioning xx

If your stomach becomes hard when it happens, it sounds like braxton hicks x
