Braxton hicks vs labor contractions
What are the differences between them? how long there are, their strengths, how far apart? Because I've been having braxton hicks, I'm assuming because their only a couple seconds, on and off all day. Its the most I've had whole pregnancy, I'm 30 wks.
Well I don't really think my stomach tightens or hardens, its jus like a strickening pain, almost like my uterus is being electrocuted?
So far i only felt BH. My stomach gets big and very tight. It doesnt hurt. I am 26 weeks and they are becoming more frequent but very irregular. I usually feel them in the morning. I havent experienced true contractions.
In my experience, bh are a tightening, and are uncomfortable but not necessarily painful. Contractions are more like bad period cramps. But im a ftm and have only had contractions a few times, they started at 37 weeks im now almost 39.
Braxton hicks stop when u relax the real thing gets worse no matter what you do
