Update. I’m now 36 weeks & 5 days

The mucus situation from me being 34 weeks pregnant has just gotten worse! My midwife knows about it and has told me I shouldn’t worry but at the same time do because it can mean labour. 💁🏼‍♀️🙄 so I’m pushing it to the side now. Any how today I’ve been getting the most painful braxton hicks in my life. For example earlier I was going upstairs and I got one which made me go down to my knees in pain. they keep lasting about 60-90 seconds. Then go and come back every hour or so. I have moved into different positions and that doesn’t even seem to work. I know for a fact i don’t need a poop. Does anyone have any suggestions for what this could be? I am a first time mum. I’ve also had a bath and a shower and that doesn’t seem to work either.
