i’m 38 weeks tomorrow- last night i had sex with my fiancé which i know triggers braxton hicks but i wasn’t too worried.

well 🙂 shortly after we had sex, my back started hurting a little and i assumed it was braxton hicks but then time passed and i don’t want to say they got worse or anything but at that point i was just tired of it. i couldn’t get comfortable enough to fall asleep and i just kept tossing and turning.

fast forward and i fell asleep around 11, then woke up at 2:37 am because i was having back pain STILL.

it is now 5:06 am and i haven’t been back to sleep because it’s so uncomfortable. i ate, drank water, and took a hot bath which helped temporarily but i’m out of the bath and back in bed and it’s just so uncomfortable again.

i feel like if it were real contractions i would be in so much more actual PAIN but i just don’t know because i thought BH were supposed to...not last so long. these have been lasting all night. literally since 10:30-11, basically nonstop.

could this be the start of labor? i told my fiancé to go to work anyways because i don’t want to waste my time going to the hospital if it is nothing. i just want to sleep. lol
