Ouch my belly is so harrrrd!!! Why?

Question

Braxton Hicks are supposed to last 2-3 minutes maybe 10 times a day, right?

Why my contractions last 1-2 or sometimes 3 hours without to stop AT ALL. Even if I lay down or change my activity, after lunch everyday I have a hard belly though the night.

I talked with my OB/GY but she doesn't know really why... #joke.
I'm 34 weeks.

Am I the only one?

Answer

I've been having really bad ones many times a day and I was so surprised my OB and her midwife didn't seem to care I was like holy crap I'm in tears it hurts so bad how can it just be Braxton hicks? Also during my NST last week I asked how often should I get them and be worried they said if more then 4 in an hour go to labor and delivery.... While hooked up I had 8 in 15 minutes all they said was wow you are having some strong contractions!! Like really? I'm 32 wks 33 on thurs

Answer

They could be real contractions when I was pregnant with my son my back hurt non stop for two days before going in to get induced. When I arrived they told me i was in full blown labor I didn't think anything of it because the pain and hardness was constant
