Braxton or contraction?

Question

Been having tightness in my abdomen since 4pm consistently a min long and 4 mins apart. It's now 830pm and haven't let up even alittle closer together. Not really painful at all, kinda like a light cramp. What do u think?

Answer

I'm 38wks 1dy and i have been having the same thing happen to me every night for a week but they go away after a couple hours and are not painful just pressure and back aches. Went to the doctor and they said if they don't get stronger with every contraction then it's Braxton hick. I was so freaken bummed! I want my little man her!

Answer

They do start off like that and get
More painful so it could be labor. the rule is 5-1-1. 5 mins (or less) apart. 1 min each (or more) lasting for 1 hour (or more). I'm not sure about the fact they aren't painful? Maybe you're just super woman haha. I have yet to have one contraction so I kind of suck for advise but if I were you if they got a bit closer or more intense I'd go in :)
