can you have real contractions that don't hurt?

Typically in the very beginning, they're light and assume labor is a breeze BUT , you'll feel them intensity lol

I've been having braxton hicks like all day but now that I'm home and relaxing they seem to be close together and mainly in my back... but they don't hurt just feel like the tightening. :/

How far along are you? I had that with my son later on.. It was always in my back..

I'm 36 weeks.

Oh yea.. I had the same kind of Braxton hicks..Real contractions feels like menstrual cramps went hulk-amania lol Mine started off light like normal menstrual cramps then progressively got stronger and more intense. There's a BIG difference between BH and real lol

I know I just didn't know if the beginning of labor could feel like braxton hicks and get stronger and close together.. I got induced with my son so I have no idea what the beginning feels like. lol

No there's a difference because the BH are higher and real are lower if that makes any sense

who knows. :/
