Help, I'm only 32+3 with my second, could I be in early labour???

Question

I've been having braxton hicks contractions since 17 weeks, they were never painful, just my stomach gets super tight and today, like 30 minutes ago I've been getting them every 4-5 minutes now, but it's not painful, just my belly gets very very tight. My husband is away for few drinks with his family and friends and I'm meeting them all later on, should I be worried?

Answer

I think you’re good. I have several Braxton Hicks an hour. My doctor said it’s normal and women can have up to 10 an hour and still not be in labor. He was right, cause it’s been weeks now and I still haven’t had the baby, yet I am still having them 😜

Answer

I never had painful contractions when I was in labor, I drove myself and walked to the birthing center told them I wasn’t in labor and in fact I was and 8cm dilated with my second child, my first I didn’t feel contractions until I was 7cm dilated. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I would call your labor and delivery and see what they say to do.

Answer

I'm going to say I don't think so? I had Braxton hicks a lot and had my son at 41+3 weeks. I had to be induced. I think if they were painful it would be a different story
