What Causes Braxton Hicks And Pelvic Pressure During Third Trimester Of Pregnancy?

Im 33 weeks and have been having alot of Braxton hicks and feeling pressure in my pelvic area and bottom. I went to the toilet and had a blob of thick light green discharge. There s no other sign of infection so i dont know what this could be. Should i call the midwives?

Hi,

Braxton hicks are precursors to actual labor pains. They are docile. Greenish discharge though is not. Whitish discharge cause of candida infection that is common but greenish need further testing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ankit
