Braxton Hicks on monitor?

Question

Does anyone know if Braxton Hicks show up on the monitors at the hospital, or if they’re real contractions? I didn’t think about asking while I was there 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve been having steady contractions for 4-5 hours, not painful just tightening. The doctor acknowledged that I was having contractions while I was at the hospital but idk lol

Answer

Braxton Hicks are contractions so yes they would show up on the monitor

Answer

Yes they show up.

Answer

Yes, I went in last week because my Braxton hick were 6 mins appart, and they were all showing on the monitor, since they did not hurt and they got further sport they are really Braxton hick and not real contractions

Answer

How consistently? I had BH today that wouldn’t stop and eventually turned into real contractions that required a shot to stop. I would call your doctor or L&D. You have to be careful this late in the game!
