Intense Braxton Hicks

So I’ve had Braxton Hicks since about 20 weeks, just your typical tightening. For the past couple weeks though... OH MY GOODNESS, SO intense! They actually hurt and I can barely breath through them. They don’t come frequent enough to start timing them(anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes apart). I’m just crossing my fingers that at my 36 week appointment next week that all this increased pressure, shooting pains and super intense Braxton Hicks is doing something. I don’t even care if I’m a fingertip dilated lol, just progress would be nice 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I’m due January 3rd so I’m apart of the December group too on here and girls on there are starting to have their babies and it’s making me SO anxious! This is baby number 4 and my final pregnancy, I’ve tried to embrace it but I’m just one of those woman who hates being pregnant so, at this point I AM SO DONE WITH IT ALL AND JUST WANNA HOLD MY BABY❤️
