BH or contractions?

Question

So I'm 35 weeks and 1 day today. Today was having Braxton Hicks all day and one of them was real high up with  tightening of the abdomen and then I got shorter breath and lasted a good 5 or 10 minutes. Ever since then I've had real bad pressure in my lower abdomen and pain all day. What should I do?

Answer

Always call your doctor if you're not sure. But the easy way to tell the difference between BH and real contractions is that real contractions are more consistent, each one increases a little in pain, and they don't stop no matter if you move or change position. Real contractions start in your back while BH are only in the front.

Call l&d hunni! And ask! It's most likely your uterus preparing! And bub moving down into your pelvis! But always call if unsure! It's what they're there for! X

Answer

Most likely just Braxton hicks but my contractions with my son never started in my back

Answer

It's just Braxton hicks. Drink a lot of water and lay down and relax. Good luck!

Answer

Always call doctor if u r concerned. I've been having contractions for a week. I went to the hospital and they told me to come back in if water breaks because they couldn't get them to stop. I'm 34 +5 I'm trying to make it to 36. Listen to our instincts not other women. U know ur body 😉
