contractions/braxton hicks

[jakesgirl07]

How early did your contractions start? & how do u know if they are braxon hicks or not? I'm 33 weeks just preparing myself

It is possible for Braxton hicks to hurt. They hurt for me. In some cases, bh are actual contractions but they are just irregular meaning you aren't in labor.

Im 38+3 and i started at 36. The braxton hicks just feel like your havung pressure on your pelvis sort of like a cramp and my contractions feel like a stabbing pain either on the right or left side of my pelvis. It comes sharp but is gone in like a minute, still not in labor though haha hope this helps a little

I been having them recently at 35 weeks I could tolerate the BH but these are more intense they usually are three or 4 all 4 or 5 mins apart I didn't time them but they did last a while

Mine started at 37 weeks and 3 or 4 days and I knew they were contractions bc braxton hicks werent painful and contractions are very painful for me
