consistent Braxton hicks?

Question

I've been having consistent Braxton hicks accompanied with mild cramping and backaches since 7 this morning. No increase in intensity, all about 5-7 minutes apart. No water breaking, no bloody show, no loss of mucus plug.  I'm half expecting them just to fade away but so far they haven't. Has anyone else experienced this? 39+2 today.

Edit: they stopped completely around 8pm. I know it's good because it's prep for labor, but bring on the real labor already!!

Answer

That's real contractions that happened to me for like 2 weeks on and off and then suddenly my water broke in the middle of the night. Hang in there mama get all the rest you can now

Answer

Early labor can continue for days. Take it easy! :)

Answer

Experienced the same thing then stopped after a few hours. Very nerve racking. Hang in there

Answer

Sounds like real contractions to me.

Answer

Same thing happened to me all day Sunday, then nothing! Set to be induced Thursday.

Answer

I'm in a similar boat. I'm not going to the hospital until I'm doubled over in pain and they are 3 min apart - we will definitely know when it's the real deal- we are just some early laborers! I'm due 9/30
