Braxton hicks or?
37 weeks first time mom here. Woke up around 2am with period type cramping and some on and off tightening that had no real pattern. Kept me awake for around an hour until it eventually wore off and I fell asleep. Earlier today I had the same thing happen, but the “tightening” feels like it’s wrapping around my back aswell. Not painful just uncomfortable but more frequent now.
I have never experienced braxton hicks before so have no idea what to expect, or could this lead to me having baby girl soon?

I think that’s Braxton hicks, im having lot of them like that lately, feel like tightening or like a knot in certain places in my belly
I’d say braxton hicks but if they become more frequent and intense then could be the start of contractions 🫶🏻
Apparently braxton hicks don’t hurt it’s mainly tightening of the tummy
Deep on and off period cramp pains could be signs of early labour or also can be a sign that baby is just pressing on a nerve or is really low and just causing some pressure

Try and keep an eye to see if a pattern appears but if they’re more frequent it could be something. You could always get checked just to put your mind at ease even if it’s nothing
