Ive have my first real braxton hicks this morning. Only 2 in one hour where i felt like i was going to poo myself :/ ... and didn’t. that was between 5-6am. i’ve had a BM yesterday and every day i do as i’m on iron. today pregnancy has been kicking my ass. i’ve had a sorer than normal lower back and i’ve just felt generally unwell. i haven’t been doing anything strenuous except very short walks. this evening i had a small amount of chinese food for supper at my MIL house. i felt okay after. it’s been 4 hours since and i had such bad nausea and feelings of being unwell. i vomited everything in my stomach and still feel terrible. i’ve had what i would consider “poop cramps” which have lasted about 20 seconds each. i’ve had 3 this past hour but don’t seem to be able to use the bathroom.

i guess my question is, am i okay to just stay home and wait for it to pass? i’m only 31 +4 and i’m just worried that i’m down playing it if i shouldn’t be. what do you guys think?
