I’m only 32 weeks now and I’ve had four contractions since 8:30am and it’s about 11:30am now.

They feel like bad period cramps. I can’t tell if it’s Braxton Hicks but I have had tightening before that didn’t hurt at all. That was weeks ago. I heard and read they aren’t supposed to hurt, but they do now! It’s almost like I can feel it coming on and it gets stronger for about 15 seconds then goes away. 🤨

Has anyone else gone through this before 37 weeks? I’m a FTM. I’m waiting to see if I have anymore and I think I may call my doctor. I don’t want to make myself paranoid though. Is this early labor or hust regular Braxton Hicks?

Thanks for the help! 😊
