Yes Braxton-Hicks but if they hurt or you can’t breathe while you have them then they’re real contractions and you have to monitor them

i went into labor when my belly was tight for an hour

yes contractions regardless of the pain. If your belly gets tight its a contraction.

@jleona I'm gonna time. I'm getting period like cramps.

Keep an eye on it. With my first my contractions weren't painful at all. I only ended up going to the hospital because my water broke soon after.

If they're painful, then yes! If not, they're likely just Braxton Hicks but may turn into something more. Good luck!

They’re likely Braxton Hicks contractions if they’re not super painful. Which are fake contractions.
