cramping in back and belly and tightnings

i'm 35w 4d and from about 9pm last night i was getting period type aching in my back,hips,belly and legs. was also getting tightning in my belly. i get bracxton hicks quite often but they arent usually painful like this (just annoying) ive been cleaning like a crazy woman this past week too. the pains continued all night and only stopped this morning, im still quite sore in my back from it all. has anyone else had this or got any advice ?? this baby is so not ready to be born yet

  • Sounds like your body is just getting ready for action but I'd phone the midwife just to be sure. I had a similar experience to this in the last few weeks leading up to having my daughter and it was quite scary but she was born at 40 weeks to the day. Try not to worry, hopefully all is fine xx
  • I would say it's ur body preparing and shifting the baby down into the right position. Also, if I remember rightly, they do get more intense as you approach D-Day but if you do have any concerns or they get into a regular rhythm then call MW or if at nite, the number you have for maternity/labour ward for advice hun.

    Take Care xx

  • well if you wanna wait you should get your bag n stuff ready by the door. camera, hospital notes, change for hospital parking ect, just in case lol. if they get to 5 mins apart and lasting over 40 seconds i'd deffo ring midwife xx
