As birth approaches, every cramp can spark “Is this it?” Braxton Hicks are irregular “practice” contractions, uncomfortable but not progressive. Early labour, however, brings regular, intensifying contractions that don’t ease with rest and may come with a show, backache, or waters breaking. Knowing the difference reduces anxiety and helps you feel calm, confident, and supported as you prepare to meet your baby.

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) affects 1 in 5 pregnancies, causing sharp, aching, or radiating discomfort in the pelvis, hips, or lower back. It’s not “just part of pregnancy,” and with the right support, gentle movement, support belts, daily habit shifts, and physio, you can ease pain and move with more comfort. At Blume Wellness, we provide yoga, tools, and resources to help you feel supported through pregnancy.
