FTM- Should I be worried?

Question

So I went for my 35 week appointment this afternoon and everything was normal but the dr did say that he could come any day now. Tonight I've been experiencing my belly getting really really tight and I've had some pressure down low. It's not very painful, just mostly uncomfortable. Is this something I should be timing and paying attention to? Or can I sum it up to Braxton hicks and ignore it?

Answer

I only ever had BH and my OB said if I was getting more than 6 an hour to call immediately. I could still walk through them, but they were definitely uncomfortable. I wouldn't chance it and I would definitely call to get your doctors opinion because he knows you best. But my OB had me go up to L&D a few times for BH and it's a good thing she did!

Answer

A real contraction will be consistently  time able and come in intervals, it will also increase in intensity and will come more frequently.  Braxton hicks can get more painful the further along you get.

Answer

My daughter came at 37 weeks. You will know if contractions hit. It's normal to feel uncomfortable and tight in the belly area. Your baby is coming soon! Congrats!

Answer

You likely won't be able to talk through real contractions if your still typing as they occurring it's likely just Braxton hicks
