I get lots of Braxton hicks all the time. I have asked my doctor how often is too often to be getting them and he says there's no such thing. Mind you this doctor received his degree in the 70's, he delivered me 29 years ago & half my family - I trust this man with my life). He says that you need to go to labor and delivery if they start hurting and become regular.

I didn't feel contractions at first. Didn't know I was having them every 7 minutes but I was 12 days over due and my Dr told me to go to the hospital to get the ball rolling.

You may or may not know it. If your in pain or not - if you are having tightenings/ contractions go in. Seeing you are so far along I'm betting they are contractions!

Like the above said, just keep timing them to see if you get between 4-6 an hour. If they get to 10 minutes apart head to the hospital to see if its real labor starting :)
Fingers crossed for you! Good luck!

I was told if you have more than 6 in 1 hour to go to the hospital.
