I am 39+1 I have 6 days left. For me braxton hicks make me feel breathless, and I feel tightening in my tummy. But it doesn’t hurt. I am also first time mum too

Its like cramping in your lower stomach or tightening feeling as though something is grabbing you in your pelvic area and releasing it each time you feel them. Well thats how mine feel...

Braxton hicks are not supposed to be constant. It sounds like labor contractions. I would call labor and delivery. Not all labor contractions are unbearably uncomfortable.
