For about a week now my braxton hicks have been mostly in my lower back which sometimes also come around to the front, under my belly(bub is not posterior either so dunno why they are in my back). Midwife checked for UTI, don't have one so much be BH.

Last night i had been feeling a little 'off'. Went to bed around 11:30pm but couldn't get comfy at all. Back was aching like mad, belly very sore and just really uncomfy, so just sat up in bed for a few hours. Back pain started getting worse so i went and had a bath. Didn't do a thing, made them worse if anything. Feeling quite nausous at this point too and also have the need to do #2 but can't.

So got out of bath and came and sat on here for a while to see if they'd go away. Well i've had 5 of these 'pains' in the last 45-50mins. Too tired to actually count them properly.

Bub is moving quite happily as usual, so not worried at all.

So am i just having horrible BH or is this labour or what? I don't want to have to call the hospital and them ask me to come in because Jacob has yet to get his licence(but going for it this week) and so i'm the only one who can drive at the moment.
