Before you went into labor..

Did you start to get lots of braxton hicks? Im overdue 2days, and i seriously dont want to get induced. Unless for some medical reason.. But ive been having constant braxton hicks for 2days already..

My doctor said that the way to tell if its labor or braxton Hicks is to lay down, drink water and time them. If they get stronger, they're real labor pains. Other oncoming signs of labor is a weight loss of 1-3 pounds, lots of soft bowel movements, baby moving less often and loosing fluids (waters breaking)! Good luck and keep us posted!

I'm over due with a day. Been getting contractions but they don't stay. My back hurts a lot too. I have an induction schedule but I really want to go to labor by myself.

I have had my Braxton hicks for a week now I was told if I want to enduce to have sex and so far the are coming faster and more often. You can do that or walk just walking can get a little hot
