Mama's that have went into labor on their own, how did you know it was true labor and not Braxton hicks? I've been having what I think is Braxton hicks for the last 2 hours. All between 4.5-8 minutes apart, lasting between 30-50 seconds. Not god awful painful but not comfortable. I've tried everything I can think to get them to stop. Moving around, laying down on my left side, took a warm shower, eating, I drank 2 bottles of water since they started. No change. They're still going. They're not getting any more intense. But now every time my babe moves, I feel like I gotta clench my legs together or a foot might pop out! Anyone have any insight on how to get these to slow down or stop?
