Braxton hick or real contractions?

Question

FTM here, Back pain and period like cramps? I haven’t started to time yet. Just curious if it could be the real thing or not.

Answer

I have had back pains on and off and cramps on and off accompanied with nausea. I asked about it at my appointment yesterday. He checked me and nothing going on yet. He said if it is just one day could be labor, but mine has been on and off for about two weeks. Labor would be consistent, where mine was inconsistent.

Answer

Back pain is a sign they’re real contractions 🤞

Answer

I had really bad contractions in my back and period like cramps with them around 38 weeks. I timed them throughout the day and they did get closer together but never more intense. My fiancé took me to L&D just to make sure I wasn’t in true labour. Turns out, it was definitely false labour and my body is still practicing. I’m just about 40 weeks and still no true signs labour is near 😩 hopefully it’s different for you!

Answer

BH normally go away if you change your position. If you are lying down, try moving around and vice versa. Contractions either end on their own or start occurring more frequently (that would be early labor). It’s good habit to start noting times and lengths of what might be contractions. That’s what they’ll want to know if you go in.

Answer
