Not always I've been having contractions in my lower back and as far as I know I'm not dialated at all
No: Braxton hicks contractions don't make you dilate. True contractions usually do.
I've been having true contractions and I'm still not dialated..
Braxton hicks never dilated me and neither did my true contractions till after my water broke and then I only dilated to 3.5 cms and stopped . I wouldn't dilate anymore no matter how strong my contractions were
