What would you do?

Long read!

Hi ladies, I am 37 weeks + 1. So last night I went in hospital because my baby hadn’t been moving as much so I went in for monitoring. His heartbeat was fine & he started moving again. So I was happy with that. But while I was on the monitor I started having sharp shooting pains shooting up my vagina & when they came my babies heart rate went up & the number next to my babies heat rate (the number that shows if your having contractions) kept going from 20 to 45 every time I had the pain. I told the Midwife I was having these sharp shooting pains and that I had noticed my babies heart rate going up every time I had them. All she said was that’s probably just my babies head moving down & said my uterus was irritable. But that was it?! Never explained anything after that just walked off complaining that she hasn’t had her dinner yet & she had been working since 9am. Like that’s my fault?! Anyway, after I had finished my monitoring the doctor came in to see me. She checked my cervix.. that was closed. Told me I would be having a growth scan some point this following week & sent me home. So leaving the hospital confused as to why my uterus was irritable, I guess I was just happy my baby was moving again & his heart beat was fine. That was that. And then I woke up this morning having what I thought were normal Braxton Hicks that I’ve had the last couple of weeks. But they haven’t stopped coming and going all day. My tummy constantly getting really tight, then soft & then really tight again. I haven’t timed them but my tummy roughly stays tight for about 50 seconds & they come every 5-10 minuets. So I rang the hospital and explained what was happening & the Midwife I spoke to didn’t seem that concerned. She said I should only ring back if I’ve lost anything (waters or mucus plug) or if babies movements have changed. She then said that she was tired & her brain had stopped working as she had been there since 7am when she was trying to write my details down. Again, like that’s my fault?! I haven’t got a clue what to do to be honest. I’ve been uncomfortable all day. I can’t sit still because my tummy gets so tight. My baby is moving fine so I know he is ok. But I’m still getting these Braxton Hicks constantly & these sharp shooting pains shooting up my vagina when ever my tummy goes tight.

Sorry this is such a long rant I just want to know what you would do in my situation? Should I just get on with it & just presume everything will be okay? Or should I be worried about something happening? This is my first baby so I have no idea what I should be expecting.
