Too many BH contractions??

Question

So, I'm having them every few minutes... and they keep coming. I'm assuming they're just Braxton hicks because my stomach tightens up and gets really hard but it's not super painful... just kinda takes my breath, makes my face flushed and is uncomfortable, so I don't think it's labor. Is it okay that I'm having so many tho?! I'm 37 weeks and I've never had this many and this frequently 😳 please help!!!!

Answer

I would track them to see how close they are. I don't think they are necessarily super painful at first... that comes later. Good luck! Keep us posted!

Answer

I've been having them for over an hr now...and I started tracking them. Should I just wait this out!? 😩 idk if it's labor or not... and I don't want to go in and it not be because I'm in nursing school and have 2 tests in the morning. I'm about to lose my mind. I can't study with thing going!!

Answer

I had tightening and ignored it because they didn't hurt. Then a few days later I thought I was leaking and went to L&D. Turns out the tightening was enough to dilate me to a 4 and get me 80% effaced. That was at 35 weeks. They've stopped since then and I've only gone up to 85% (38 weeks). I would get checked out if you don't have an appointment soon.
