You're full term, so having contractions now is okay. BH aren't regular, they're sporadic and can vary in strength. Real contractions are regular, and get stronger as they progress. Have you passed the mucus plug? Also, call your Dr. It's better to make a fuss about nothing than to possibly injure your baby because you don't want to be a bother.

This has happened 4 other times after sex. Last time this happened it was 15 hours of painful contractions every 30 seconds. Went to the hospital the next day and nothing at all I wasn't even contracting or dilating so I don't want to go to the hospital or make anyone worry if its notjing again but I'm 39 weeks now and I was around 33 weeks the last times I had them

The fact that it's regular and painful sounds like the real but. But again, drink fluid,try lying on ur left side, if it doesn't subsides then it's not Braxton hicks. My doc always says if u get 6 contractions within an hour then u need to call.
