If contractions don't hurt are they worth timing?

Question

I'm on the couch this afternoon after cleaning all morning, and having lots of what are probably BH. My middle back hurts a bit too. They do keep coming now, but no pain involved. I'm wondering if they are worth timing?

Answer

Definitely time. I wasn’t in pain but at 30 weeks my so called Braxton Hicks contractions were every 2-3 mins. I was in full denial because they didn’t “ hurt” ya I was in full blown preterm labor. Finally went to hospital and we were able to slow contractions down. So everyone said I have high tolerance for pain. Moral of the story all our bodies are different but start timing them. Better off to be safe 💙 good luck!

Answer

This is my third baby. With my first two i naturally went into labor in the 38th week and labor started for both with contractions that did not hurt, just uncomfortable / tight.  For me they get as low as Every 4 minutes with no pain. Then once their 2 mins apart they start hurting for me

Answer

I’m experiencing the same thing. I’ve been timing them on an off for days now. They’re definitely closer together Sunday they were 20-30ish mins apart now they’re 4-10 mins apart. They don’t hurt at all, but definitely tightenings, I’m keep thinking they’re braxtons until they start to be more intense 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Definitely worth timing either way. People have diff pain tolerance. Drink a ton of water & lay down on your left side, see if they stop. Last time I had them consistently (I was 34W) that helped. I had a good 15-20 of them in a little over an hour!
