Ive just gone 36 weeks with my second bub. Have been getting braxton hicks since early in the second trimester and they have never bothered me too much - occasional soreness but nothing too bad.
The last week they have really kicked it up a notch and Thursday night got really bad - lots of pain through my back and groin, more intense and period pain that built up like contractions as opposed to mild cramping that I would normally get with BH. That night they eventually eased enough for me to sleep with panadol.
Friday morning they were back again as soon as I got up, not as bad as the night before but definitely worse than normal, building up and easing again, and very frequent (as in, every few minutes).
They did manage to ease off but I am still getting them very frequently, not too painful most of the time but occasionally (like this morning) really taking it out of me.
Anyone had this happen and what was the result?
As much as I really would like baby to hold on a bit longer, not sure how well I will cope with the increasing strength of these for another 4-6 weeks!
No show or waters of any kind and I dont think Im in labour but since I never went into labour naturally with DD (was induced at 40 weeks due to GD), I sort of dont know what to look for and the pains on Thursday night were very much like the pain I was getting early on in my induction.
Anyway, thoughts?
ETA Its the frequency that Im getting them that worries me a bit (and worries my mum and DH a lot haha) as they seem to be all day long....
