So, my tummy has gotten hard before, often but today IT WON'T STOP HARD! Its bizarre :)

Anytime!

I think I will take you up on your advice! Thank you much!

Just best to get checked out if your unsure! Especially being preterm still!

Lol, right before I read that, my back started to hurt but it's not unbearably painful or anything. Ugh, I feel like I won't know if or when I'm in labor!

Mucous plug? Back pain?

With me I went into labor at 38 weeks and I barely noticed it being labor! My contractions were so light I couldn't even call it a cramp! They only way I noticed it was by timing between times my tummy would contract and it got down to 5 mins and I said okay time to go to the hospital! Sure enough they kept me and I delivered the very next day!

It happens multiple times an hour.

I'm 34 weeks on Wednesday! They aren't painful but are there any other symptoms I should look out for?

[Tattooedmommy18]

It could be Braxton hicks, they are usually painless and are not consistent but contractions can be painless but they are consistent!

Always time them if your unsure!
If you feel it could be contractions go to labor and delivery to get checked out!!

Hope this helps!!:)

Mine does too but there not painful

If it's consistent and you can time them then it could be contractions, how far along are you? Try timing them and see how long they are apart
