Im no expert as this is first pregnancy but my friends baby was breech at 30 plus weeks and she had bad pains which we thought were braxton hicks bless her next time midwife checked Angel was head down and engaged she had turned herself round. little monkey lucky for her mummy though maybe your lo is turning?? Maybe it is brxton hicks or perhaps early labour if your worried go to midwife an let us know how you get on :) xx

Sounds like Braxton Hicks to me hunni. These are 'practice' contractions to prepare your body for labour and birth. They can be extremely painful (mine were). If you are at all worried speak to your midwife, LO is obviously very active!! Good luck x
