I am currently 37weeks pregnant with baby #2! My first pregnancy was smooth, water broke and delivered a healthy boy at 39 weeks.

This time I have had Braxton Hicks contractions since around 29 weeks that are completely debilitating, I can’t walk when they come on which is making me second guess if I’ll be able to tell when they are real contractions.

Over the last five days I have started having some symptoms which include: strong feeling she is coming soon, insomnia, lower back pain, lighting pains, lightening, loss of MP, frequent bathroom trips, and some contractions that have made me want to vomit.

I’m curious if I am in the early stages of labor or if this is still false labor?
