Mild contractions???

Question

Hi ladies. FTM here, 39 +3 and just trying to sort through what I'm feeling.  I feel my belly tighten but typically no pain just discomfort, which should be my practice BH contractions, but occasionally I have one that hurts, the pain is only down in my pelvis and I feel a ton of pressure down there.  Just trying to get some clue here, would those still be BH?

Answer

This has confused me for days because I have exactly the same, uncomfortable tightenings, occasional mild cramp in pelvis. I had a sweep yesterday and the day before and I was already 4-5cm so the midwife said she was surprised I wasn’t having regular contractions but it happens.
I think you just assume automatically crippling pain when someone says contractions but I guess over time there must be a build up.

Answer

Sounds like they’re starting to become real, productive contractions, even if they aren’t so regular that you’re in active labor. I might call your doctor to see what she recommends.
