Someone give me advice pleaseeeee?:)

Okay, I've been reading up online (bad idea!)
-About contractions and Braxton Hicks and what not...
Because I thought I was getting BH contractions, but I read, that if you have more than 4/5 in an hour you should call the hospital, but you should try changing positions to see if they stop or not...
Well I asked my mum, she says it sounds like BH but I've had like 3 or four in the past 15/20 minutes?
But I got up went to the toilet, and sat back down (was lay down at first.)
I had one like 2 minutes after sitting down.
I also keep getting pains 'down there.'

Baby has been head down since 29/30 weeks.
He's been pushing downwards too for the past week or so.
I'm 32 weeks tomorrow.
Advice pleaseeeeeee?

Definitely call the hospital! Just to be on the safe side even if its just BH, its their job to tell you that.

^^^ I agree they'll tell you what you should do. Good luck! Xxx

Did you try drinking tons of water and laying on your left side? Dehydration can cause BH. When I hit 37 weeks I started getting them more than 4 times an hour but then the next hour I wouldn't get as many and it was off an on like that for a while. Now even if I have to pee a little bit I'll get ridiculous amounts of BH until I do.. rolling over getting out of bed all cause me to get BH! I'm not too worried about it because I was full term when this started happening, but I would definitely phone your doctor to double check!

Are you sure they are BH? Sometimes baby will just push out at a weird angle and it feels like I'm getting BH because my belly's hard and I have to feel like all around the outer edges of my uterus just to see if the whole thing is tightening or if it's just the baby moving that's causing the discomfort.

When I was 33+5 I was admitted to hospital with what I thought were BH. It was contractions but it was because I was dehydrated. They pumped me with 2L of saline to hydrate me again.

Make sure you're drinking enough and call the hospital

Agreed on hydration. I had the same thing happen to me as well.
