braxton hicks or contractions? 27 weeks

Question

i just turned 27 weeks today and i’m unsure if i’m having preterm labour just braxton hicks. it feels tight and crampy. what should i look out for? what should i do to help? 
i rearranged my kids room today? the beds and cribs…and vacuumed maybe that’s why?

Answer

If you just feel crampy without any pain or leaking of fluids I would assume your just dehydrated. It sounds like you have also done too much today and take it easy. I would hydrate as best you can and rest for now. If it gets painful or you start leaking fluid or bleeding call your ob right away

Answer

It is probably Braxton Hicks. Sometimes mine feel like they almost take my breath away if that makes sense? I’ve been in labor and know what an actual contraction feels like in comparison, but my first pregnancy I wondered this all the time because my BH were pretty intense.
