Braxton Hicks Getting Pretty Tough.

So my partner and I had sex last night twice and once this morning. I started having a pink discharge around 10 tonight. It is now 1:598am and I am still having the discharge. This pinkish discharge is similar to the discharge I had earlier in my pregnancy when I had bv. But I don't have bv.. no itchy stinging or unbearable odor. I am prone to bv so I will definitely know when I have it. The discharge seems to be flowing right on out. What could it be?

Also I have been having major braxton hicks. About 15mins apart. And out if the three I paid attention to each one was more intense and I had to breathe through them heavier each one. Could labor be soon? Also my back is killing me, but its probably from me cleaning and cooking. But help ladies!

Lol my sex drive has been in overdrive this pregnancy lol.. I started keeping an eye on them since two.. first one was at 2:05 ... next was at 2:13 then 2:18... they aren't painful just yet, but they do take my breath. And I will keep an eye on discharge as well.. its a very light pink, but definitely noticeable.

having sex that often late in pregnancy is brave lol, but thats what will have started the contractions, if they continue it may have even pushed you over into  early labour, if they're still there and uncomfortable, hop into a nice warm bath or shower and see if that settles them down, if it doesnt then it will be labour contractions, keep an eye on the discharge, but its most probably form the sex as well :)

The discharge is probably from sex I got it when me and my bf do it twice or three times. It scared me so I called the doc and he said its from the sex. Just to lay of for a few days.

Now the braxton hicks are normal I have them for the last 5 nights and they only come at night. They are driving me crazy.
