contractions

[jluv22]

Any one else have a hard time knowing if ur having contractions? My braxton Hicks have been more back aches like period paind nd my stomach feels kinda sick nd muscles tight but more on inside of tummy not always rock hard on outside.. not sure how i know if there real ones now or not 37+4 i was 2 centimeters on tuesday... has ne one had contractions that lead to real labor but they didnt really seem super intense?

You will know they are real if they start to come stronger and closer together ....
That's the only good advice to give you because every bodies real contractions can be different places and different feelings .....just time them and that's honestly the best way to determine if you should go to hospital or not .....
And this is my second so I have experienced them before ....hope this helps

This is my third and I went in thinking I was having a kidney problem and it turned out to be contractions. My right side hurt so bad I was in tears. Women contract differently but I can tell you mine are mainly in my lower back and my stomach gets real hard. If your whole belly does not get hard it may not be a contraction. With my first when I went to the hospital I was having horrible period cramps.

Mine run up my sides and back but my bh are in the front more. And yes, the more real ones you get the more intense they seem to get

I never had bh. But with the real contratraction they got more and more intense. Some ppl get pains I'm the front and back.  Mine were all front. I ended up almost passing out cuz the pain was so intense. But every pregnancy is different and hopefully u won't get the pain I got.  Hope this was a little helpful

I feel you! I hate posting serious things on here because no one ever answers! It's sooooo annoying. I unfortunately don't know the answer to your question this is my first pregnancy and I'm 33 weeks so not quite to that point yet! But good luck to you!!!!!
