could this be labour?

Question

So I'm 37 weeks, had sex this morning, he didn't cum and didn't orgasm, we stopped after a few mins cos he didn't like it.

Now I've been on my ball and walked to the shop, now feeling pressure and period pains down there.

Should I start timing it to see if its contractions or braxton hicks? Also how do I time it? It went and now it's back! No waters braking and no bleeding!

Answer

Sometimes the activity of sex alone can bring on contractions. I would say drink water, lay down or take a bath. If they stop then it's not labor. Download a contraction timing app. Those things are great

Answer

There are a lot of good phone apps.  If you feel your stomach tightening and cramps it could be the real deal or BH.  Keep moving and drink some water.  If they subside they are BH.  If they keep going and get closer together / tighter or more painful you may have the real deal.  Good luck
