what’s the difference?

Question

what’s the difference between braxton hicks contractions and regular contractions ?

Answer

BH will usually go away with water, changing positions, or walking.  Real contractions progress and become more painful and don’t go away after trying the options said above.

Answer

Braxton hicks are a tightening of the entire uterus, like conditioning. Contractions start up top and work their way down and get more intense, increasing in duration as they progress. You'll know the difference when you feel it haha.

Answer

How long they last

Answer

Braxton hicks don't hurt or at least they didn't for me. An actual contraction felt like a really intense period/diarrhea cramp.

Answer

Regular contractions don’t stop. They increase in strength. 
Drink water and lay down and time them for an hour.
