contractions
Even tho I'm a second time mom, I don't exactly know the difference between Braxton hicks and regular contractions. I keep having what I think are braxton hicks but there is a dull pain in my stomach along with back pain, which I didn't have with my first pregnancy. No increase in vaginal discharge and no blood. I called labor and delivery but the nurse told me to take tylenol and put a heating pad on my back. But isn't back pain a sign of labor?

Hey I just had this at 26 weeks. I went in cause I was scared but if your drink water and sit in the tub or use a heating pad it will help it just takes a little time. If they were actual contractions they’d get stronger as time goes on even if you used heat and stuff. So I’d say try the water and heat and if they get stronger call back

@kay thank you. I've been trying to drink more water to see if that'll help. The nurse said to take a Tylenol and get a heating pad so I'm trying it. It has been better so I'm trying to get better by Sunday bc I literally can't affird to take off or be on rest bed rest now
