contractions?

[sofa2134]

Hello I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I'm having what feels like really painful menstrual cramps still bareable though. Hes moving around a lot as well.... Is this what braxton Hicks is?

I thought I was in labor
I timed it for a hour then it stop
I found out it was just braxton hicks.
But if it doesn't it contractions..
ur case sounds more like labor though

Matter of fact I would call the Doc or Er now. Just to be safe u dont want a early baby and some time they can stop contractions if u catch them early enough

If I'm not feeling the pain in my pelvic area its in my back. I'm gonna wait another 30 mins and if its still happening so closely together I'll go in. I appreciate everyone's comments and further opinions/similar situations would also be appreciated.

At first contractions a little pain. Then they get bad. It sounds like ur in labor
Time it for 20 more min while u watch a show....
If it dont stop go to the er

They say to follow the 511 rule. Contractions five minutes apart, lasting one minute, for an hour. Idk if you'd want to wait that long since you're only 34 weeks. Try walking, changing position, warm shower if it hasnt gone away then you might want to go to the hospital.

Its happened 3 times now and they were about 3 mins apart and lasted about a minute if not 45 seconds each. I don't really know if my pain tolerance is too high to be honest. But I feel like if it was real contractions it would be unbearable. But I also am having cramps in my lower back as well.

Start timing how far apart they come..
And how long they last..
If it continues if contractions.
If they stop there braxton hicks
