I hope I'll be able to tell the difference in real contractions. My belly has been hurting past week or so. I think it's just round ligament pain but geez this hurts constantly. I used to have BH quite often and I'm not even really having those anymore. Just unsure if it could be real contractions or not. Go to the dr next week I guess I'll know then when she checks me if I've made any progress. Hoping she sweeps my membranes as well.
