What's the difference on how Braxton hicks feel and contractions ? Is it time for me to have contractions ?
They started at 10:43 and I'm on my 5th one right now @theinkedbarbie
Braxton hicks shouldn't hurt. Mine don't. But if you have more than 8 in an hour, it's best to call your OB cuz it could be preterm labor.
Braxton Hicks is just your stomach tightening. Real contractions start in your lower back and wrap around to your stomach and start off slightly painful till it increases in intensity. Some women even have only back labor. If you feel like you're having contractions start timing them
Braxton hicks go away when you do things or get lighter contractions don't ease up and get worse nothing you do will get them to go away
Having some pretty intense constant lower back pain and maybe super light contractions. But can't tell because the back pain is way over powering contractions so I'm walking around my room to see if they get worse.

Ladies I would like to introduce my babygirl. Came to the hospital and was having full blown contractions and doctor decided to operate me. My delivery was so painful I felt everything.

I know I've posted this before but when your water was leaking did it stay leaking or just with movements or what? Did you get contractions shortly after or no? I rolled out of bed and felt warmth leak out but Idk if it was possibly urine or what...never had it happen. It didn't smell like anything really...I know I should either call l&d or go in but I just want some experiences please. I want to wait a bit just in case it's nothing.
just did my glucose test and im so amped up on sugar right now...i keep shutting my eyes to doze off and then i get extremely awake again! lol i started having Braxton Hicks contractions from the intensity of it meanwhile my son was kicking my guts in half. lol it was like Tang times 10!! i loved it... 💗😂😴😲

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...
Well from 10:43 - 11:43 is all that matters. Once the hour is up, it starts over. Just try to take it easy & drink water.
