They aren't Braxton Hicks and I was advised that it's fine. No different than a partner touching down there. And I can't just keep running to l&d Everytime I have an episode of intense contractions that increase in intensity and how close they are. My doc said this is gonna continue. And that I only need to go in if there is a big change.

I think you should stop checking your cervix yourself. You will have Braxton Hicks they can be uncomfortable but that doesn’t mean you’re gonna pop a baby out in a day or 2. You’re only 32 weeks. If you’re worried you need to get checked by whoever you’re seeing whether they be a OB, midwife or whatever.

You should really be careful about checking yourself. My midwife told me horror stories of infections that could harm you and your baby
