Braxton Hicks during real contractions?

Question

Does this happen? I think I’m having very early labor contractions but also am feeling BH in between the painful/achy ones. 40 weeks today!
Also, can it be “real” contractions even tho I don’t necessarily notice them unless I’m lying down and resting? I went on a walk and didn’t feel any but before and after they’re definitely there.

Answer

I just learned that there is something called prodromal labor and I’ve had it for over a week.... prodromal labor isn’t labor or Braxton Hicks... it’s in between three two... They feel like regular contractions in labor but they fizzle out every night it’s driving me NUTS

Answer

My understanding is that if they go away when you change activities or positions, they aren’t “real”... but I like to think they are still a step in the right direction! I’ve been having cramping and tightening since like midnight, but it comes and goes depending on... who knows what! 
Our babies will be here soon, but maybe not, like, tonight!
