Braxton Hicks or real contractions?

Question

Consistent menstrual like cramps, which hurt for me to walk, sit, lay, anything. I've had them for about 3 hours and they're evenly apart. I starts in my back and comes around front from the bottom of my belly button to my lower abdomen. What did your real contractions feel like? Could these be real?

Answer

I stayed up all night last night with these kind of menstrual cramps and a really sore back... Today I've had a little bit of cramping but it's mostly went away. I would say if it gets worse then it's real contractions. But this is also my first pregnancy 😁

Answer

That sounds real to me! How far along are you? If you are at risk for pre term labor then go to L&D immediately. If you are term then just time them and when they are 5 minutes apart, go to the hospital. Good luck!

Answer

Start timing them if they are around 5 min apart go in.

Answer

Go to the ER right away. Good luck

Answer

Did you call your doctor? S/he is probably best to weigh on this

Answer

Yes they could be real if moving doesn't make them stop and they're consistant
