Probably nothing but...

Hey guys,
Could you give me some advice or put my mind at ease?

I know this may sound like nothing but, I am uhm.. 33 weeks PG and last nite woke up in the middle of the night with what I can only assume was Braxton Hicks? Kept getting like a tightening across my bumpage.. anyway I felt really rough and like sicky, but wasn't actually sick this kept me awake for an hour or two before I eventually dozed back off.

Now this morning after an epic lie in! My hip bones have been throbbing on and off, and babe has been unusually quiet, normally I get kicked to pieces the second I get hungry.. It's hard to explain but I just feel strange, my bumpage doesn't seem as heavy, or indeed has high up as before. Could she just have dropped down a bit do you think? Or am I being paranoid, or should I go get it checked just to be sure?

Thanks x x

Hi hun,

does sound like your bubs has dropped a bit and yes they sound like braxton hicks. They are very common from 30 weeks plus, not everyone gets them, but you symtons sound like mine and i have been having irregular hicks as well.
All good for the dropping, it takes all the pressure off your lungs and you can eat normally again!
