33 weeks Braxton hicks contractions

33 weeks & Braxton hicks contractions are killing me , getting me confused . They just come & go . Is this bad ?

I heard a warm shower helps you figure out if the contractions are real or not. If you have contractions and they get stroger and more intensive under the warm wather-those are the REAL contractions. They get stroger and stroger.
It's a simple way to figure it out if you're in doubt.

Oh ok good ! I was just worried for the reason they come painful but I just called my hospital doc and she said it's fine , as long as they come and go . Real labor contractions dont go away . So hopefully this means im ok for now :)

Its not bad to experience braxton hicks contractions. It's just your body preparing you for the real thing. I know they are giving you mixed signals, but watch the clock and see how often they're coming. Its painful and uncomfortable, but so worth it in the end! Good luck!
