So yesterday I had period type pains and lots of braxton hicks. They disappeared over night and when I woke up today baby was very quiet. After lunch I ate a bag of chocolate which would usually send baby crazy but I only got 2 little kicks so I called the hospital and went in for monitoring.
I was hooked up to a CTG and the baby continued to be quiet until about half hour in when it woke up, gave lots of kicks and the mw was happy .
During this afternoon the period pain type braxton hicks started again and showed on the CTG. The mw thought it could be the start of something but said they might trail off. I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar reading with regular braxton hicks and gone into labour soon after? Or had a similar thing and taken weeks to go into labour? I was always under the impression braxton hicks weren't regular?! Here is a pic of my CTG:
