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!
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 :)
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.
