turns out I was having contractions the other day.. but I don't know how to distinguish them cause…

I felt the same way my whole pregnancy. lol. then once I was in labor and having real contractions I realized there was no possible way I could get it confused with anything else. you'll know when its real trust me

I have been having a lot this pregnancy too I never had Braxton Hicks with my first two kids and I had them right at the end of my pregnancy with my youngest son but I've had them the whole time with this one. it doesn't really mean anything it's just something you have to deal with

I was told Braxton hicks were painless though and this was excruciating pain to where I couldn't even stand up and it stayed throughout the entire day @michellevaldez4750 @mariahje

well then those are definitely real contractions if you can't move around. you're probably pretty close to labor

unless you have a low pain tolerance then it might just be braxton hicks still lol

I have had some painful Braxton hicks too. @marleas.mommy most ppl say that they don't hurt just uncomfortable but everyone is different.

That wouldn't be good cause I'm only 26 weeks @mariahje and my pain tolerance isn't very low at all I would say it's in the middle and we'll if it happens again to where I can't move I guess I'll see what my doctor wants me to do.. cause yesterday I was having lower back pain as well at work

yeah that would not be good.. but sounds like labor pains to me. if it happens again and gets worse consistently go to the hospital to be safe

Okay thank you @mariahje
