Hi mama, normal lang yan usually, Braxton Hicks contractions kaya namimigay at namiminigas ang tiyan mo, lalo na at malapit mo nang mare-ready ang katawan mo for labor, pero since you're also having lower back and hip pain, definitely better to mention it sa OB mo sa next checkup para ma-rule out kung may iba pang reason, okay? A few of us had the same experience at ang doc namin nag-assure lang na normal, pero peace of mind talaga if you hear it from your doctor din. In the meantime, rest lang, warm compress if need mo, at hydrate well. Take care, mama!
