Braxton Hicks or the real thing?

Question

I’m a FTM and not really sure but I have them as a high intensity because they literally take my breath away and I have to remind myself to breathe it out... I’ve been in a lot of achy pain anyways but this is so not aches.. they don’t have an exact same time between each of them so I wasn’t sure..

Answer

This happened to me a lot with my last pregnancy and I was told by my doctor to drink a bunch of water and lay down on my side to see if they would go away to see if they were real or not.

Answer

I'm going through the same girlfriend .. then they stop so annoying I'm impatient and want baby here already haha

Answer

They don’t seem consistent enough to be real contractions. 
But I feel you gurl I’ve been having a lot of BH and at this point I just try my best to ignore them because I’m only dilated to a 2 🙃

Answer

If they don’t have a pattern it’s most likely not the real thing. Even if it is 7-8mins or whatever. But if they’re all over the place it’s most likely not “real” contractions. But the good thing is hopefully it is helping your cervix get ready! 
If all else, call L&D

Answer

I just didn’t wanna go in and it be nothing to worry about so I thought I’d ask some opinions first

Answer

UPDATE*** it was the real thing. I came in late last night and was 4cm im now 10cm and all set to push really but my dr forced an epidural because my pain level was so bad he worried about my mental health and baby boys health. I’m too numb to push yet so they’re letting him drop a little lower and letting me rest a little longer
