Advice...
I know i should probably just call the midwife but I don't want to be that over cautious mum 😅
So I'm in my second pregnancy and all day iv been getting irregular but mild contractions. They are all over the place and last anything between 30-60 seconds. They are however causing a dull pain in both back and front.
Baby seemed mega active yesterday but today seems a lot less. I can still feel him but he's not on the go as he would be normally.
Iv feeling heavy down low and his movements are quite painful and feel full of pressure which also isn't normal.
Iv been unable to sleep due to discomfort and was up most of last night. Iv been really irritable today.
I'm only 31w tomorrow... should I be worrying about latent labour kicking in? Or is this just braxtons that are intense cause it's baby number 2? 😅

I’d call the midwife :) better safe than sorry, even if they check you over and it’s nothing. You’ll at least have peace of mind!
Call the midwife - better safe than sorry
Hey hun I’m a midwife and my professional advice would be to call triage/MAU to be seen and assessed. Although they aren’t regular but are painful it’s best to rule out preterm labour xx
Call the midwife or go straight to the delivery suite. Better to to be overly cautious. Also try to stay hydrated I had a similar experience a few weeks ago and went in to get checked everything was okay but I was a bit dehydrated and needed rest.

Particularly given the change in baby’s movements (plus cramps) I think you should call triage. Worth getting checked over just in case something is going on.
