I've also been having braxton hicks for the past two weeks. I can't sleep or anything.  I'm due September 22 I guess he's arriving a bit early.

So am i..Its a good thing to b a worry wort and make sure everything is ok. Ive been a high risk pregnancy and was with my last so everytime something doesnt feel right i call my doc. Chances are its not anything to worry about but give ur doc a call and make sure. I have some days where its constant.cramps and others where i can time them but they havent gotten to  close together yet.

Yeah its like a constant ache I just got out of the hospital a couple days ago they checked for infection so that can be ruled out. I went in for pressure but everything is fine. Then today I get this pain. I'm a little bit of a worry wort

Menstrual like cramps are the prelabour.cramps which can help in dialation. If they get more intense or start coming more frequently then it could b the first stage of labour. Most woman experience it over a few weeks before labour begins. Ive been getting painful cramping since about 30 weeks but for me its different then braxton hicks contractions.

My doctor told me cramps are normal just body preparing for labor. I started to get cramps at 35 weeks and I went in for cramps and got checked to see if I had a bladder infection but I didn't.

I've been having braxton hicks for 2 days now. They don't hurt it just feels tight and gets a little hard to breath.

Braxton hicks. If they get more regular and more intense, then contractions.
