What should you time?

Should I be timing my BH or the menstrual like cramps? I am 38w5d and just did some grocery shopping and my BH have been coming every 3-4 min.

Yeah, whichever is more regular and stronger.
My BH are pretty painful but real contractions blow them right out of the water.

Do they feel the same ? I'd say the cramps but then again lol I'd say myself if it's labor  it's one or the other and clearly not both .. time the one that keeps Coming back and intensify s .

I'm 37 weeks today and have had BH for several weeks. I don't time any of them because by the time it would last long enough to get really painful I'd know to time it lol

Lay Down And Relax, Drink Some Water, And Keep Timing If They Don't Go Away They May Not Be Bh.
