Braxton hicks or real labor???

Question

I have had 12 Braxton hicks in the past 44 minutes? Any advice? I don't wanna drive my doctor insane with it if

Answer

You will definatly know when actual contractions happen. They feel nothing like Braxton hicks.

Answer

Just try to relax. Take a warm bath or shower. Maybe a walk. Switch positions of you are lying down. I have had 2 babies already and pregnant with #3. I PROMISE you will know if it is real labor by the increased intensity of the contractions. On top of that most women don't realize how long real labor lasts. Being cooped up in the hospital is horror lol staying at home for as long as you can manage before the contractions get too uncomfortable is the best thing. Good luck and keep us updated!

Answer

Your profile shows this is your 4th baby. I am going to assume you know what labor is like. This is my third. Braxton hicks come often in the third trimester. Drink more water and rest when possible. You'll know when it's time.

Answer

Trust me you know when you're ready

Answer

Yes this is my fourth baby so I know what contraction feel like I have just never had this many Braxton hicks with any of my other pregnancys. Thank you all for your advice. I called my doctor last night and he said to drink plenty of water and to lay on my side and see if they started to ease up. And thank God they did because I'm only 28 weeks
