Common Questions and Answers about Braxton hicks contractions vs real
contractions
Braxton Hicks are real contractions but they're not strong enough to begin pulling the cervix open.
Very rarely, women do get into late labor and they don't know it. They say bewildering things like "well I was in horrible pain that kept coming and going all day but it didn't occur to me I was in labor". I don't get that at all.
HELP!! I've been having really bad pressure and contractions all day! Iy hurts really bad and I don't know if they're just Braxton hicks or if they're real. Also I had to change my underwear 4 times bc it look like I had discharge but it was like clear like I peeps myself. But I didnt feel it come out.... what should I do??
I thought I was having braxton contractions consistant and turn out to b real contractiins had her at 36 wks , noticed thy were not braxton by doctor at 32wks
Could be contractions braxton hicks are not suppose to hurt. But pain at the top of bump could be something with the placenta so if it were me I'd let my Dr asap.
What is the difference between braxton hicks and real contractions feeling wise? My due date is only a week away and i honestly dont know if i having real contractions or BH. If it is contractions they havent been consistent yet just sporadic all day...... Pllease any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
but you can always go back to the hospital before you go home to make sure you are having actual contractions and not just braxton hicks still..
t drop all the way so I never had Braxton hicks o contractions, I will be 37 weeks on Wednesday nd I have no idea how to tell between false labor and real labor.
I'm 31 weeks today and I have been feeling the Braxton Hicks contractions for a few weeks now, but a few nights ago, I woke up in horrible pain with the tightening on a Braxton Hicks contraction. Was this a real contraction? Is it tooearly for me to have real cintractions? Could my due date be sooner than expected? Idk what to expect for the pain of a real contraction because this is my first pregnancy. Baby has also been moving around alot lately.
I know this may sound stupid, but I'm a little confused about what I should do. This is my third pregnancy, but the first two were induced. I would just go to the hospital to get checked, but I've been there twice this past week for stress test ... plus doctors twice a week for two months =/ ... I have two small children to top it off 5 years &* 18 month's. Stress test have been showing contractions for a few weeks now, but just Braxton hicks.
m 35 weeks and went into the hospital recently for contractions..
How do I know when I am having real contractions and need to go to the Hospital vs BHC? This is my first pregnancy and any advice will be helpful.
^^agreed but u can actually time braxton hicks my doctor told me if I get braxton hicks 3-5 minutes apart for a hour to come in I actually experience it Friday I was having braxton hicks all day but they were only 10 minutes apart exactly so she wasn't concerned but braxton hicks takes my breath away from the few contractions I've felt trust u will feel the difference lbvs
Hi ladies I was wondering what contractions felt like.
30 weeks... Tmi but went #2 and then what I thought were braxton hicks started up, really tight and a ton of pressure.... Questioning it enough to ask here... Lots pelvic pressure.. Did I just set something off? Ugh!!! Second baby, first was all and only back pain so not sure what contractions feel like, I was induced first go round... Definitely having the hot back pain too.
Avoid hot baths, lay down and relax- feet propped up! If the contractions get to close together u should go to ur doctor or ER.
Could also be Braxton hicks. I have had one child already but it's so hard for me to explain real contractions with this one I've had a lot of Braxton hicks and its been achy crampy tight . But real ones its a horrible pain to go threw surrounding your whole stomach.
