Braxton Hicks?! Or contractions....FTM

Question

I have these sharp Charlie horse feeling cramps in my low back & my stomach tightens up...sometimes they last only 10 seconds others 30...
Sometimes the cramp will go down one leg and I can’t put any weight on the leg for those seconds. Is this a contraction or Braxton  Hicks ? Confused by the leg cramping up as well....please help!

Answer

The leg cramping almost sounds like sciatic pain but the tummy tightening usually is Braxton Hicks however In back labor you don’t feel much frontal pain. Try drinking water and lying down for an hour and see if that makes it stop or at least slow down otherwise if not I’d call your nurses line
