Day 5 of braxton hicks and early labour

Last night the braxton hicks ramped up. I’d been having slight tightenings in my lower abdomen and lower back for the first 3 days, but they would subside after an hour or so. Even though I’d had BH practice since about 24w, these were different.

Last night things seemed to progress. They were stronger and started earlier in the day than usual. My entire uterus was also getting tight when I was walking or active. My midwife was on stand by, but after a relaxing bath they died off.

I woke up still pregnant 😂 but some strong pressure and pain in my cervix.

Today they have ramped up again and have started in the morning rather than around 5pm like usual. Bare-able pain and sporadic.

Hope this means active labour is on its way!

38w3d today. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. Eek.
