Is this Braxton hicks or something else?

Question

I am 34 weeks and gave started cramping. The cramps are not consistent in time so I know it's not labor but it's really painful and long, maybe 1 mins long.  Between these cramps I'm getting period-like cramping in my lower uterus and back.  Am I experiencing Braxton hicks or something eles?

Answer

In my experience Braxton hicks can be very painful. What helps me is to move around and kind of "work through the pain" or try to focus on something else when they're happening.

Answer

braxton hicks shouldn't hurt. and if they do is just a pressure feeling and belly gets very hard. call your doctor.

Answer

Never hurts to call labor and delivery and see what they say - especially since you are pre term
