Should i be worried or is it just braxton hicks?

Question

I'm 37 weeks and for the last two days I've had a lot of lower back cramping on and it off, like my back will start to cramp and then eases up. Also , sometimes when my back cramps, it also tightens up in my pelvis area. I'm a FTM so I new to all of this!!

Answer

They use to tell me “when you’re havi real contractions you’ll know”....well truer words were never spoken! Don’t worry this is normal! I had Braxton Hicks for 2 months leading up to labor

Answer

That’s been me for 3 weeks now. Like pp said, unless there is a consistent pattern it’s not labour, just the joys of pregnancy 😏

Answer

You don’t have to worry much about contractions and cramping until it’s a consistent pattern. As long as babe is meeting kick counts and you feel ok otherwise you should be fine.
When in doubt you can always call labor and delivery to ask.
