Braxton Hicks or early labor?

Question

Can anyone tell me if you had consistent Braxton Hicks before labor started? Since last night I’ve had  tightenings some with cramps some just tight about 6-7-10 minutes apart, it varies but they haven’t stopped even with more fluids and while sitting down. I’m now 41 weeks and have an induction set for 3 days from now , so I hope this is the beginning!

Answer

Update 2: was 6 cm already when I got to the hospital, no epidural just gas and air and I did it! 8 total hours of natural labor and baby girl was born!

Answer

Same thing- the past 2-3 weeks but recently they’ve been consistent i can time them 6-8 mins apart for a few hours , then they taper off. Mainly at night . It’s very frustrating, it’s just a waiting game!

Answer

Update! Started getting real contractions around 1:30a.m. I’ve been able to breathe through them but they are 4 minutes apart and lasting 45 seconds or more so we are heading to the hospital!!

Answer

Ive been experiencing this for two straight weeks.....only reason I haven’t gone to LD is because I know what active labor feels like and tho I’m having those Braxton Hicks they’re just not strong enough to be active labor....but if you’re concerned I’d say go get checked out

Answer

I thought my contractions were BH. Knew better after my water broke. Good luck!

Answer

Yes. I did with both of my labors.
