Basically you'll feel the pain intensify, reach a peak and die down. Not go away and the process will continue with the timing being closer together

@maemae so real contractions are not pulsating? If that makes sense

Sounds like preterm labor. You're body is just making adjustments for the big day. The real contractions won't come and go. They'll stay and keep getting stronger but there's never anything wrong with going to the hospital saying how far along u r

Most likely Braxton hicks, it's your body prepping itself for labor, Braxton hicks will do nothing to your cervix, they won't dialate you or soften your cervix, they just suck! Lol.. I would still call your ob and let them know, they'll probably just say the same thing, but never hurts to call your doctor and see what they say... If your not bleeding and you haven't experienced any discharge then you haven't lost your mucus plug, and your baby will probably start dropping into position soon... which has its benefits and flaws lol...

Real contractions won't go away, you can time then regularly, Braxton hicks will generally go away when you relax or move around a lot like when your doing your household duties, to be honest it depends on how active you are in your pregnancy on how they'll go away. If you have sat around all because your not feeling well or just tired, then try moving around. If you've been active all day then sit down and relax... that's how it was with me in 2 of my pregnancies.

Girl i would go in to the er. Lol. & hun tbh i dont think ima make it to my due date lol. @andkitch1992
