Been having a ton of contractions and Braxton hicks as well lately I think it's common to get them alot beig so close to the end :) I'm 36+4
Me too you could be experiencing either. If you have dropped an have sharp pains in your vaginal area then it could be contractions. I have the same symptoms as you an sometimes are so bad I can't stand up, I have to bend over till they pass. Call you ob if you want to make sure. (: but you sound like me lol
Contractions. Or strong Braxton Hicks I've been having the same thins for a couple days now an mine are the real deal. How far along are you?
