So What Is the Cramping at this Point?

Question

No one seems to be straight about it. Is it dilating? Contractions? I get it just in my lower abdomen not rhythmic but stays for about 20min. Only once have I had a strong Braxton hicks then cramping kicked in with it. As of Thursday baby head down not engaged.

Answer

I've been having them for a week now. Hours at a time. Doctor said I'm in pre labor because I'm starting to dilate.

Answer

The best way i know to explain it is it’s not really contractions (which Braxton Hicks are still contractions they just don’t dilate you) but it’s more of your uterus being irritated. It’s more painful and annoying that anything else. But all of it helps when it legit happens go a lot quicker.

Answer

It really just depends. Could be one or multiple reasons. Just know it’s normal unless it is too painful or leads to bleeding.
