Contractions...

[muhkyeluh]

I feel like I am having contractions. I get this pain like period cramps in my lower stomach and my stomach also gets hard. Just wondering if these are the real thing?

Thank you. I have two kids already but with them I never had braxton hicks so having them is really confusing to me.

Probably.. it took me over an hour almost two to figure it out the first time.. I started timing them, they were coming about every 17 minutes at first, then eventually every 7 minutes and they hurt bad bad.. thats when I finally told my hubby we needed to go to the hospital!!

Take a bath/shower, walk around, sleep, eat and drink water. If it is the real thing it will increasingly get stronger and closer together. If not they will fade away.
