Labour seems imminent

Hi the night and early morning before I started having really bad braxton hicks tightenings they were like bad period pains it started when I went to bed the subsided and i went to sleep, then in early hours (yesterday morning) I woke up to really bad braxton hicks then after about an hour they went, I had them on and off nearly all of yesterday, so i don't think will be long now 😊🤰👶🎀 I'm excited but scared at the same time, I have been active well as much as I can be at this late stage

A small update - I saw my midwife today (I'm now just over 39 weeks) I told her all about the bad braxton hicks pains/tightenings I'd had and she informed me that (she is expert after all being a midwife) she doesn't think it means labour is imminent, so we'll see what happens
