37 weeks & Braxton Hicks?

Question

I’m 37 weeks today 🎊🙌🏼 & I noticed I have like a constant dull cramp that starts on the sides and radiates towards my belly button. Almost like a stomach ache kinda. I’ll sometimes get the sensation I have to go #2. Is this braxton Hicks? They feel different than before.

Answer

Sounds like contractions. They can start in your back

Answer

UPDATE: went to my OB this morning & told him my symptoms. He said to be on the safer side and to provide a more definitive answer whether they’re contractions or not, he wanted me to go visit L&D. I was in fact contracting about 3-5 minutes apart but not strong enough to get me dilating. I was only 1/2 centimeter & 70% effaced, bloodwork and urine work up we’re good. Soo I got to leave. Still having contractions but like the doc/nurse said, this can last hours or days or weeks.

Answer

Are they getting stronger and more consistent? 
They do sound like contractions.

Answer

I’m having the same thing except it’s not constant like the time in between
