Hi!

I had my little girl 3 and a half months ago. I experienced braxton hicks from about 28wks on and I also felt what you could call a little "faint" everytime I had one. My blood pressure was fine every appoinment and I passed it off as what happens with pregnancy.  They couldnt tell me if what I had felt was because of this though at 32wks I was addmited to hospital with what I thought was early labour. It was soooo painful I thought it was my little one coming for sure. I got to the hospital and they asked for a urine sample. As I was in the process I started to bleed. Ended up I had a UTI/Kidney Stones and was extremely dehydrated.

They didnt pick up on the infection at any appointment so just take note of anything that seems a little different to you.

Like I was told, they werent sure if what I was feeling was from what I had...but they said it was possible.

Im sure your fine.

Take Care
