Should I be worried ?

Question

My back is killing me and I’m having cramps but they’re really light and coming in intervals like contractions but I’m not sure bc they’re not bad (like a 5 on a 1-10 scale) , my back is way worse. I’m 31 and a half weeks . It’s 3am and I don’t want to wake anyone to take my to the hospital if I don’t have to . Is this Braxton Hicks maybe ? Idk guys plz help

Answer

I had this with my first turned out I was in labor (was also leaking amniotic fluid so was induced) but i would just call drs office.. for me it took them a day or 2 to realize I was actually in labor lol

Answer

Download a contraction timer on your phone and see how regular they are. If they are at regular intervals and increasing I would say these are normal contractions. Braxton Hicks are irreguler and tend to go away if you change up what you're doing (like getting up and going to drink some water for instance).

Answer

Everyone is different. My doctor tells me if I feel uneasy call the hospital and ask to speak with an OB nurse and they can help me decide if I should come in! This happened to me a few days ago and I was having contractions from
Dehydration.
