Tightenings at 36 weeks, advice please

Hey,
I've been having tightenings on and off for 2 weeks now, to the point where they are regular every 5 mins apart for 9+ hours sometimes, went to the hospital and they can't understand why I'm getting them so regularly. They don't feel like Braxton Hicks as these are consistent and not sporadic like BH. They last from 40-60s. I'm currently 36 weeks with second baby and just wondering if any other mummas have or are experiencing the same thing. Was put on a ctg and kept in hospital overnight last weekend but no further forward with answers. Had them since every other day, lastnight they started back up at 8pm and still getting them now followed by very sensitive nipples which I've not had throughout and they're heavy and tender, again this didn't happen with my first until closer to when he was born. And also tmi but bowel movements are more frequent today and softer/looser, I've had the whole nesting phase couple weeks ago and now I just feel fatigued and crappy all the time. Anyone feeling the same or can shed some past experiences similar? 😆

  • Could be prodromal or “false” labor. Basically real contractions that don’t develop into full blown labor. As much as it sucks hopefully it means labor is around the corner
