A tip for True contractions vs B/H

My sister in law told me a way her doctor told her how to tell between b/h and real contractions...

When you feel your belly tightening and arnt sure if its b/h or contractions touch the tip of your nose and forehead.

If your belly feels like the tip of your nose its braxton hicks, but if it feels as tight as your forehead its real contractions.

I never had b/h with my first two so this time around sometimes when my b/h feels more intense I get a bit worried. This may be a good way to tell a difference if you're having a hard time distinguishing the two! Hope it helps! 🤗
