Braxton Hicks or Labor?

Question

Been having Braxton Hicks since 3pm today (8 hours) I don't know the difference between BH and actual labor. These contractions don't necessarily hurt but my stomach is getting so tight and they're pretty nonstop no matter what I do. I don't want to go to just get sent home. Anyone experience this? 35 weeks & 5 days.

Answer

Good luck!
