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.
Why is everyone having contractions but not me 😢😢😢😢
Ladies BH do not cause pain! They are practice contractions ! If you are having pain while contracting they are true contractions and yes you can have spontaneous contractions that go away with rest and hydration but if they last longer than a half an hour it's always best to go get checked out !
What do contractions feel like?

Contractions are getting crazy strong! Anything over 80 is considered a "strong" contraction. The ones I'm having are hitting 160+ !
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.
