Description
Have you experienced Braxton Hicks contractions? We clear up the confusion on whether it’s Braxton Hicks or the real thing you’re experiencing. You may be wondering what a sweep is – we’ll be joined by a midwife who will explain all. Plus, listen for the advice you need about getting your hospital bag ready and what to pack for labour.
