I would get them checked out if they are coming regularly. Even with pain, it could still be Braxton hicks, but you want to make sure when you are still that early. My Braxton hicks were real contractions that just weren't coming in a regular pattern.

Your having contractions and if they are constant for 3 hours you should definitely go in and get checked out. Try timing them if they last  1-2 minutes very strong and u have them every 5-6 minutes go in

The big ball feeling at the lower bottom is what type of contractions I was having. Yu should go in just to be on the safe side.

Also contractions feel like period pains but a lot more stronger if you are having contractions like the other ladies said get checked it will put your mind at ease and they can give you something to stop them. Good luck mama :)

I tried drinking water. It hasn't helped any. I Hope nothing is wrong. It's too early for her to come. I'm also not sure of what contractions feel like. But it feels lie she is getting in a big ball in my lower belly and about to push through my stomach. After about 30 seconds it relaxes.

BH contractions also don't last that long & shouldn't be painful. I went in at 30 weeks for that & my cervix was dilated a 1cm & a half & they had to stop my labor. Try drinking a glass or two of water right now As it could be from dehydration.

It's better to go in and there be nothing wrong than wait and have something going go terribly wrong. Braxton hix contractions shouldn't make you cry. Call your doctor's regular line. The answering service will have the on call call you back.

Thank you. I don't want to go in and get checked out if it's actually nothing. I don't want them to think badly of me. And I switched drs in the middle of my pregnancy and they never gave me a number to call:( I just don't know what to do.

It could be braxtin Hicks contractions or actually contractions keep an eye on how close each pain is and how long it lasts and monitor it you could also ring your midwife hospital and explain what's happening they will probs get you to go in and check you it will put your mind at ease.x
