Do contractions start with a little pain and just get painful in time? I'm having light contractions and almost 5 minutes apart in my lower belly?
My doctor told me if they start in the front then they're Braxton hicks. If they start in the back and then move to the front they're real contractions but idk, all the contractions I've had have started in the front and I've been admitted to L&D for preterm labor 4 times because of it so they could be the real deal. They say real contractions last about 1-2 minutes and get stronger while Braxton hicks last 30-45 seconds and will go away if you love or change positions
