so been feeling what I think are contractions since 230am 6-3 mins apart, the difference between these and Braxtons is my lower back and pelvic area will hurt and tummy tighten at the same time. got up at 6am and started doing a bit deep cleaning just in case it is the "real deal" didn't feel them much while cleaning but now that I'm resting they are slowly starting to come back again my question is, could these be real labor contractions. don't want to get family or hubby worked up over "false contractions".??
