BH or real contractions?

Question

I'm a FTM, 38 weeks and 3 days into my pregnancy. I've had what feels like bh contractions for the past 4 hours on and off but currently been getting them every 7-8 minutes or so.. When I get them, my belly gets rock hard and baby stops moving. Soon after it's over he'll start moving and kicking again. I also feel tiny bubbles at the bottom of my belly? Not sure if anybody else ever experience the same problem as me. I just need to know if they're real contractions or not. I have no real pain when I get them. Just feel real uncomfortable and unable to move.

Answer

Real contractions to me felt like sharp pulling pains. Real contractions definitely are painful compared to bh if they don't hurt id say they aren't real ones

Answer

Real contractions are going to be more uncomfortable  and stoo you in your tracks and usually start in your back and radiate to you front. Braxton hicks are mainly in your in front and your tummy gets rock hard might be a little uncomfortable  but you can talk and do things while having them. I couldn't talk or do much of anything when my contractions started. I just had my second baby and this last one I started ha ig the Braxton hicks timed similar to yours and a few days later the contractions started to days after that my baby was here. Born at 38 weeks. Good luck mama.

Answer

I've been having this for about 2 weeks, I'm 40+1 today, they are super annoying but doesn't look like real contractions, even last night I had them 5 mins apart and thought ok, this is it, I'll try to get some sleep and if they are real the pain will wake me up, well I'm up, but only because I've had to pee 4 times already! Mine have gotten stronger but not painful yet, just some cramping with some of them.
