Chelsea and Westminster Hospital 2020-09-25 Person 3 5 0

I am 33 weeks pregnant within my 1st pregnancy and having Braxton Hicks contractions, which has not been explained to me during my consultations (over the phone now due to COVID-19). So eventually I called the midwifes number to enquiry about those contractions and if I needed to be worried or not. But was most like the midwife did not have the time or patience to explain to me, like she wanted to put the phone down while I was still talking and trying to understand if there's something wrong. I know the NHS has been overwhelmed with number of patients specially in this currently difficult times, but an advice and explanation does not hurt anyone. It was only a quick phone call over 2 minutes and I have been told that if I have pain then to come to hospital. What type of pain? any other signs?? Shall I just google it to make me calm down?
