Am I having contractions ?

Question

Here is what I've been timing. Not sure if they are contractions or not tho? I'm not having any pain with them. My stomach just kind of feels like baby is pushing outwards - my belly gets super lop sided , kind of hard . It gets kind of hard to breath also. I just am stumped because they really aren't painful. What does that mean?

Answer

Probably Braxton hicks if they are not painful. Braxton hicks happens all the time and will usually make no changes to the cervix. they are basically just practice contractions. sometimes I'll have 10 in a hour but like I said they usually don't change the cervix. you'll know when your having real contractions. one night I kept having Braxton hicks contractions.. but then they got extremely pain ful like real labor contractions and they dilated  me to 3cm

Answer

these are Braxton hicks! I get then all day long. they're super annoying.

Answer

it's no lie when everyone says you'll know contractions when they happen. those are like the other girl said, probably Braxton hicks. I personally feel like contractions are some of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life, had me crawling around like a dog in heat (and for two days 👐) it is not a slight pain and it will keep coming you'll know for sure when it happens
