Braxton Hicks, Baby Dropping, or Labor???
Scroll down for my story time!!
I’m going to be a first time mommy so I am clueless of so many things and have a million questions. One of the things I’m clueless about is Braxton Hicks. What do they feel like? When will I feel them? Another things is baby dropping. Same question will I feel the baby dropping? When will this start? And third about labor, how will those contractions feel different from BH ones? How long do they last? Will I feel my water break? How much comes out? Will I bleed as well? I want to know everything....
Now time for a quick story of why I’m asking all this besides for my own knowledge.
Last night me and my fiancé has sex. Then we just cuddled afterwards for about 30-45mins. I started to have some intense feeling in my tummy like it got hard and uncomfortable which I thought was contractions which I figured were caused by me having sex. And after those mins he woke up and started to get in position to start having sex again sideways and as we had started I felt very very wet and he felt me get very wet and was enjoying it but I felt too wet like I had peed or someone had poured water on me. And we stopped for a min and we checked if there was blood or anything but it wasn’t. There was no blood, didn’t smell like urine, didn’t have an odor, wasn’t slimy, & wasn’t colored. It was just clear and water like. I thought it was my water that had broke for a sec but I haven’t lost my mucus plug and I’m not due til Jan 10,2019. Well we continued to have sex because I was maybe thinking it was the cum slipping out of me from the 1st time we had sex. Well after a while we finished the second time and cuddled again and I was still getting the same intense feeling I mention above after the 1st time we had sex. So after hours of laying down and being asleep I kept getting those intense feelings from time to time when I got up to use the restroom I felt so much pressure on my pelvis below my belly button and I had to stand up still for a min before I could gather myself from the pressure and walk slowly to the bathroom. It’s in the AM now and those intense feelings come and go but I do feel baby being very active. Are these intense feelings Braxton Hicks? Or possibly labor / baby dropping feelings?
OH and I forgot to ask as well: my tummy has been very itchy is that normal? I apply palmers cream. (Below belly button and above pelvis area only)

Again I’m sorry if I made this extra long.
