early labor?

Question

So since 9:30 am this morning I've been having contractions (or Braxton hicks) not sure.. But whenever I get Braxton hicks I only get one or two a day and they aren't that noticeable .. Well ever since this morning I've been having contractions, it's now 10:30 pm and I still have them.

They are irregular, with no pain .. Just lots of tightening.. Breath taking tightening though. I notice one ATLEAST every 15 mins. Plus my daughter has been SUPER active today, feels like she's rolling around in there..

I have a doctors appt tmw

Answer

I've had the same thing for about a week and a half now and although mine are regular and slowlyyyyyy getting more intense, I've been told multiple times that I don't need to be concerned until they are so painful I can't walk/talk through them. Not very reassuring for a FTM. So I'm just sitting here impatiently waiting to be in uncontrollable pain ha. But I was told that unless they are consistently extremely painful and/or my water breaks, don't bother going into the hospital (which I already did). Just get sent back home. Good luck!!

Answer

Unless it gets too intense I say wait til your appt since it's tomorrow and bring it up then. Instead of going now and possible getting sent right back home. You might get lucky and get admitted right after your appt
