Now that I'm 37 weeks...

Okay, so now that I'm 37 weeks will I begin to have more Braxton hicks or more pain? Not that I want any lol but when I went to my last appt my ob asked me if I was getting bh and I really couldn't give her a straight answer cause I guess when I do have or get them the aren't the slightest bit uncomfortable or anything, it just feels as if my baby's moved or like her butt is sticking up lol. So I'm kinda concerned being that I'm a ftm that I won't really know when I'm getting the real ones or when I'm in labor cause I have a  high pain tolerance....like I don't wanna be in labor at home and have my baby in the tub cause I was in labor the whole time and didn't know it.

I have a very high pain tolerance as well, but once the real thing happens you just know. Your whole body feels different. I would get hot flashes like crazy, little back aches, cramps in my lower tummy. The tightening sensation got pretty intense too, I couldn't stand up while my belly tightened. I'm sure you'll know once it happens girly, don't stress! =)

Once the time comes, pain will get stronger and longer so you will definitely know when you're in labor. With my first I don't remember having bh but I knew I was labor when the pain kept on coming stronger and longer. Plus ur water will also eventually brake if your in labor.
