Absolutely, with my first baby my contractions were 10 min apart with the worst pains and no baby. Just keep counting how far they are apart or how bad the pain is, just hang on mommy!

Is it common to have more than one in a half hour? I mean I know they are Braxton contractions because they dont hurt its just a pressure.

If they start to get closer to at least 8 min apart or if the pain gets really bad. Your going into labor if the contractions are 4 to 5 min
