bh or real contractions

Can't tell if I'm still getting b hicks or these could be real contractions ? My whole stomach gets so hard and a pain right to my back last about one min and they are about 4/5 min apart I've went for a walk cuz I've read they'll will go away if they are bh but I got them stronger while walking i drink alt of water and if I'm laying down I still get them Also they start like a menstrual cramping  I'm the one who posted earlier that a got a little blood spotting bright red but only a little bit

A shower will do the trick and drink lots of water. Contractions are mostly felt on the bottom of ur belly with pain that starts in the back andoves to the front or vice versa contractions will get stronger with time and if u move or walk youll continue to feel them. Contractions will have a pattern in time while Braxton hicks are more Iregular.  Good luck

If they're not stopping or slowing down then you should go to L&D. Good luck!
