Contractions? Braxton Hicks?

Question

I’m laying in bed relaxing, I can feel cramps on my lower right side and my lower left side. I’m not sure if it’s Braxton Hicks or regular contractions.. I think that’s the scary thing about being a first time mom.. not knowing what something is supposed to feel like. I’m confident it’s just Braxton Hicks but it just feels so weird

Answer

Same here! I notice them more at night I guess, but have been feeling period cramping the last few days. I read somewhere it can be your body dilating or cervix effacing, but who knows. Going to mention to my doctor at appt this week!

Answer

I totally understand I’m 39 weeks started having tightening & light cramping but it’s off & on. I think it’s just braxton hicks there not regular. But it’s so hard knowing what’s false & what’s real, this is my first baby too.
