Evening all, DP has told me she's had stomach tightenings. They've lasted about a minute or so and been about 9 -10 mins apart. This has happened 3 times now. She's 38.5 weeks and has said they aren't painful, just like all her stomach tightens then starts to relax.

This is our first bub and I'm not scared or worried, just curious as this is something new (she's had ALOT of Braxton Hicks contractions throughout her pregnancy, but nothing this regular). Is this a sign of things to come or just some pre-labour cramps?

Thanks in advance
