in Pregnant after 35
I'm 34 weeks. I was woke up by a horrible pain, almost like dieherra like cramps. Nothing helped I sat on the toilet and did have a Bm but still every 810 mins had horrible cramps I took a shower and relaxed they eventually went away... Was this Braxton hicks? They lasted a little over a hour. 4am5am. Should I call my midwife?? This will be my first child!

    I would call, because BH contractions are usually not regular like that.  They're more like an occasional "squeeze".  What you describe sounds more like the start of labor, but it's good that it stopped on its own.  If it happens again I wo
