Should I call my midwife/the hospital?

Question

I’m 40+3 been experiencing Braxton Hicks/contractions all day but they’ve only just started getting stronger. They are very painful but I’m still able to go about as normal

Answer

I’d say yes. My contractions were all over the place and only lasted 15 seconds so I stayed at home. Then my waters broke all over my living room floor 😅 my contractions were never consistent and It turned out I was only actually feeling the peak of the contractions. Good luck x

Answer

They’re too inconsistent and if you can move while they happen, they’re not real contractions. My doctor told me that had to last longer than 45 seconds to even count as a contraction. They should be lasting that long AND be 2-3 minutes apart consistently for an hour.
