By no means in pain just unsure of whether it's braxton hicks or what? As never really had them with my son. Baby is moving ok and as I say I did have a low tilted cervix. Any advice would be great

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

Given the history of a prior pre-term birth, 'tightening' sensation, and pain in the cervical area, you need your cervix evaluated. This is best done with a vaginal ultrasound to measure the cervical length. It is not typical that this would be a problem at this point, but you are at increased risk for a preterm birth again, and this should be evaluated as soon as possible.

I hope that this helps. If you have more questions, please click on "ASK ME A QUESTION" link above to directly ask me a question!
