If you are having them every five mins go to er now.You shouldn't have bh more than four an hour and should not be regular.

I went into the hospital at 39 weeks because i thought i was dehydrated and so on so they hooked me up to see babys heartrate and contractions. The nurse would ask me if i felt the contractions i was having. I thought it was the baby kicking once and a gassy feeling another time. I only felt one and actually thought it was a contraction. My bh did just feel like my stomach got hard for the most part, but for me those contractions weren't painful at all.

Contractions hurt and can be timed regular. Braxton hicks do not hurt just lots of pressure and a balling sensation with hard uterus and they r irregular
