@marissawilliams628 how's it going? X

@marissawilliams628 Braxton hicks don't really hurt it's just where your belly goes hard then soft again usually from about 20 weeks but like I say they don't hurt so u might not have noticed them... but from what you've said it does sound like contractions Just ring the hospital tell them what's happening xx

@amyecmt, I haven’t had any braxton hicks yet xx

@marissawilliams628 if u had Braxton hicks then you'll know if these are contractions or not cos the pain is worse xx

@marissawilliams628 if they coming regular and lasting a minute or longer then your best making your way to the hospital especially if it is far away xx

@amyecmt, yes they are but it’s so hard to know because I never had a kid before n my hospital is so far away that I don’t wanna go that far then turns out to be false labour xx

@marissawilliams628 so they starting to last longer and more painful xx

Yeah do time them, if they are close and painful then I'd say labour has started xx

@amyecmt, I haven’t been timing them tbh I should start timing them x

@amyecmt, yes I will do that thank you for the help ladies x

@marissawilliams628 are the cramps coming and going if so how far apart?

@marissawilliams628 I'd give it an hour or so and if the pains get worse and closer together ring the hospital

@amyecmt, ye been getting back pains aswell

If they get stronger and closer together, lower backache aswel. Then I'd say it's the start of labour

Sounds like your body is clearing itself out, labour could be round the corner x
