38 weeks and 2 days Braxton Hicks or contractions?

Question

I’m pregnant with my first baby. I’m 38 weeks and 2 days. I’m not sure if I’m having Braxton Hicks or contractions. My stomach tightens up and the pain does take my breath away. I’ve been timing them for 2 hours. They are on average 6 mins and 15 seconds apart lasting an average of 50 seconds. Any advice?

Answer

It’s also normal to have this type of contractions in early labor, it helps dilate and efface. If they keep getting more and more intense and after walking, bathing and drinking water then it might be time to put your bags in the car and head out!

Answer

I would go, mines started like that from 6 minutes then it worked it’s way to 2 minutes apart, better safe than sorry

Answer

I would def call and see what the nurses and doctors say. Try drinking water and walking or changing positions. If they r Braxton Hicks it should stop if your hydrated enough and move around. Good luck!

Answer

Call the doctor or nurses line.
