I'm 34 weeks (issues)

the last 3 weeks have been horrible I constantly feel sick (never had morning sickness) and I'm shaky and seeing spots. I had a midwife apt last week they checked bloods urine and the only thing was my np was slightly elevated. Anyway I went back that night for bad Braxton hicks and got sent home a few hours after and they said I've got an irritable uterus. I had another midwife apt yesterday and had the same thing with the bh except they were that painful I was in tears and they repeated the process from last week and everything is fine. I feel so stupid and now I'm scared because if the pain I experienced yesterday was "normal" then what the hell will labour be like. I'm not expecting it to be all Rosey and perfect and I know it will hurt...

I feel like I waste my partners time and the hospital and I've done nothing but apologise to my partner because we are there for hours and he said that everything is fine and he is happy we are ok and to stop saying sorry because he will do anything to protect us. I know that it's all true deep down but still feel pretty bad :( sorry it's so long I just wanted to get it off my chest and just speak to someone that might understand <3

Don't feel so hard on yourself, a lot of things we experience right now are extremely real, and sometimes horrible. You know what I'm dealing with right now? For the past month, I've been testing myself. If I eat after 6PM, I have HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE  nightmares. And doctor said it's normal! I mean, nightmares about my first child. I wake up screaming sometimes. Throughout my first trimester, I constantly felt sick to my stomach but never threw up and never had morning sickness. I see spots, too. I just found out last week that they're called "floaters" and are very common in pregnancy. It's crazy! My braxton hicks hurt sometimes, if they were to bring me to tears, I'd run to the hospital too. That's scary.

Yeah I know the hospital are so good and always say any bit of doubt or worry come straight in.

That's horrible!! It's stressful because you have no clue on what's happening and then you can't get answers...
