contraction question again!

39+2days, ive noticed my tummy going rock hard but i dont feel much pain. This morning in less then one hour i had four-five but im not sure if i should count does as braxton hicks or contractions or just nothing. So if my tummy goes really hard for about one minute rach time but no pain is that still a contraction?

Even if there most likely going to send you home, might as well right? I guess its better to go when ur not sure whats going on then to wait and something bad happens lol

I know! At least when the water breaks its a sign to just go in no matter what lol my parens and sisters are coming over for diner then i guess well head to the hospital. Im expecting to be sent home but since my mom seems to think something might be moving along i guess theres no harm in going in. I dont want to get my hopes up so im going to try and go in with a neutral mind lol and see what goes from there. Maybe our babies will show up tonight :) how exciting!

Same situation for me! Good to know I'm not the only crazy ftm that doesn't know when its time to head to the hospital. I've been having mild cramping pain and tightening of my belly since 2am off and on. But refuse to go into the hospital BC I know they will send me back home. It would be much easier if my water just broke
