Real contractions are timeable . They became frequent and intensify. Usually they become more intense the more frequent they become. Real contractions don’t go away with drinking water or laying on your left side. Braxton Hicks are very common and sometimes they do hurt. Drink water and lay down on your left side. You can also take a nice shower or bath to see if they go away.

@serenity2020, what did they say? Have things calmed down

Shanna Marie · Answer

@jodie1991 Drink nothing but water and they'll see how I am doing at my appointment Wednesday.

Shanna Marie · Answer

@jodie1991 I have not timed them, my stomach is tight off and on... and I just had a bottle of water. I'm going to drink more. I'll call my obgyn once they open just to inform her too. I had a appointment for today but they pushed it to Wednesday. :(

I'm feeling then while typing all this.

Have you timed them to see if they have a pattern? When I had my contractions my belly started to get rock solid then the pain came and went all across my bump and lower back.. also if I didn’t drink enough water I used to get braxton hicks

Jodie Marshall · Answer

Real contractions hurt. Braxton hicks are just tightenings with no pain. You will know the difference x

Shanna Marie · Answer

I feel a sharp pain middle lower area. They've been going on for like a hour now.
