Hi

I am currently 34 + 3 days pregnant and am at risk for preterm labour.
I have an appt tomorrow for my check up, but wanted some opinions on some pain that I am having today

I woke up at 7.30 am, and since then have had like a stabbing pain at the top of my fundus that comes and goes. Stabbing pain is the only way I can describe it, it does not last for long, maybe 30 - 45 seconds sometimes a minute, and they are coming and going.

Could this be braxton kicks? or does my stomacj need to tighten at the same time as the pain in order to be braxton hicks? or are braxton hicks not painful? I have tried lying on my left side nut the pain still comes and goes?

Most will probably say to just call the hospital, but I wanted some opinions from you ladies first.

TIA
