not so sure
Im almost 37 weeks and ive only had braxton hicks contractions this is my first pregnancy and im not really sure when or if im supposed to feel real contractions and what they will feel like will I only feel the real ones when im in labor or what??
I'm the same way. This is my first pregnancy and I'm currently 38w 2d and I've only experienced a real contraction a handful of times. I have had braxton hicks many times. You'll be able to tell them apart because with regular contractions they feel like period cramps and you may experience lower back pain with them, I do. I was like 34 weeks when I first experienced them.
