How could u tell the difference between Braxton hicks or contractions? I'm scared I won't be able to…

contractions have a pattern and can be timed. My bh are sharp and hurt. for some people it doesn't. my contractions felt like a BH intensified 😭

like I literally had to stop what I was doing when I had one

You'll know the difference because real ones are extremely painful and you can't walk or talk through them and they are consistent and get stronger

ha I had my first contraction walking...the world literally stops

if it makes you. clench your teeth and snap at anyone who tries to touch you then its contractions lol. I aS hurting so bad and breathing through clenched teeth and my dad was trying to be nice and comfort me by putting his hand on my shoulder but I growled out "do NOT touch me" through clenched teeth before he could get I'd hand on me.

YOU KNOW. trust me. contractions hurt so freakin badddddd.

I cried through each one and asked for pain medication...I started mine in the hospital because mine were induced. I thought I wouldn't be able to get through the horrific pain. Braxton hicks are just there.. . they come and go and u feel it but it's def not excruciating

Oh you'll know it's like someone ripping your insides out and stomach tightening all you wanna do is curl up in a ball and knock someone out hahh. At least that's what mine felt like and what I wanted to do ahah

yup you will know!
