Braxton hicks (please read need advice)
With my first labour I had what I thought was braxton hicks for a full day, they came every 10 mins, I never knew I was in labour as they didn’t hurt at all.
I ended up going into full blown labour the next day
I’m 31 weeks today and have been having braxton hicks all day but haven’t thought anything of it as I’ve been really busy.
So I’ve started timing for the past hour just to see if there is a pattern which there was with my first labour. They come every 3-5 mins not painful at all. Do I put this off or call maternity? I know it sounds silly but honestly with my first I wouldn’t have even know they were contractions…
Just want advice to what everyone else would do in my situation :)

How far gone was you with your first? Also how much have you been drinking? Ifnyoure concerned call them up and explain they may get you in just to check. . With my first I never felt Brixton hicks but this one I keep getting period like pains come and go throughout the day and that's what I had when I went into labor but then telling myself it's Braxton hicks as I haven't had a lot t drink.
@Emily I think I’m going to if they carry on being regular x
@Sam just drank a massive pint of water to see what happens, I have to admit I’m not the best at keeping myself hydrated😅 hopefully it’s nothing! I was 38 weeks when it first started and then didn’t have him until I was 38+3!
