Contractions or Braxton hicks?

Question

So every few minutes my belly is gettin really hard and cramping up then releases. Are they real or just a few Braxton hicks ? I don't want to go to L&D if there false !! I'm currently 38+1

Answer

I'd call your Dr and ask their opinion if I were you. Since you are so far along, they will tell you if they want to check you or not.

Answer

Drink some water and lay down or walk around. If it fades, it's Braxton hicks. If it starts getting worse, they would definitely be contractions. Eventually you won't be able to walk or talk comfortably through those.
