braxton hicks or preterm labor?

[KeishaCovey09]

Hello, I have been having cramps for a few days now and back pain sense yesterday. Ive felt the braxton hicks before and it was just tightining of tummy no pain and now I have these period like cramps and back pain and Idk what to think. What do u all think could this be labor or just braxton hicks? O by the way im 34 weeks tomoro. Thank you!!

Braxton hicks do get worse the farther along u are.....I was sent home many times being told it was false labor......they can get really painful. If you are really concerned u should call your doc and see if they want u to get checked. But if they are not regular contractions then you are probly fine.

as long as they aren't continually increasing in intensity and frequency then more than likely they are just braxton hicks.
