If you think you're having them, try drinking some water or taking a warm shower. If they don't go away after I would go in if they're close enough. I was induced so I knew when I was having contractions, but I honestly couldn't feel every one so when people say you'll know, I would have only known when it got close to the end of laboring. Everyone's pain tolerance is different. So if you think you might be, just go in

When I was in the hospital about two weeks ago the doctor said I was actually having contractions but they were every 15-20 minutes but the only ones I could feel were down low. Which is why I’m getting confused

It continued while standing and walking and it felt like it was switching sides and it’s right above the pelvis bone

It’s true, if you have to ask it’s not real. I wasn’t sure about my Braxton Hicks until I had to go to l&d for a numb belly button and was having “contractions”. Once I was IN labor I knew for sure I was and there was no doubt about it.
