Contractions? or BH?

Question

So I've been feeling this tension/tightening of my uterus along with vaginal pressure. It's been very consistent like every 5 minutes maybe lasting a minute. But the thing is, it's just an uncomfortable feeling not painful. Could these be real contractions? Or could they be BH?

Answer

Believe me.. you'll know when they are real. I have a HIGH pain tolerance, and my contractions put me in tears and could barely walk/stand without moaning in pain.. the Braxton hicks were uncomfortable and kinda made me feel the need to slouch/bend over to take some pressure off.. also if they are Braxton hicks, drink water amd walk around a little (like through the house, or to the car and back a few times, and they should stop.

Answer

Yep, painful. I'm FTM too, just going off what my Dr told me about when to go to hospital vs not.

Answer

Uncomfortable = BH
Hard to stand, walk = Contraction
