What do y'all think

I've been getting Tighteing in my belly with the slight pain and cramps , it started around 1:00am & still going on and off its 2:12am ,  Braxton hicks or real contractions ?

#ftm so don't really know and also the cramps aren't really painful at all Nd they come with alot of pressure like the babies being squeezed.

It was a false alarm not real labor contractions, but I'm 40weeks +4days

I would say they were like cramps but on a whole nother level. The thing is my hospital is a 45   minute drive and I don't want to go for just a false alarm. I'm starting to get shakey and burping a lot. At around 120 this will be going on for about an hour now.

Now if they hurt that bad definitely sounds like it can possibly b labor. Feel like real bad period cramps? Sometimes when u go to the hospital they send u home if you are not that far but they can also tell u if u are in real labor if it goes on more then two hours I would say definitely go in to hospital and make sure u keep timing and stay calm

Well when I had sex. I did squats. Took my shower and in the shower they started. I had to grab onto that metal bar. So I got out and still had them. Now I'm laying on my left side in the dark and still gave them and they hurt bad. The thing is that they went from 10 to 6 now they are 8 apart and hurt bad. I'm drinking water too but they are still happening. I'm 38+3 days. :/ idk what to do.

I read if it last more than two hours and are consistent and getting close in time then those are real contractions. Try relaxing  or bathing and if that eases them then it's braxton Hicks contractions and for the other mom a lot of times sex can make u start contacting but it is not necessarily labor how far along are you all

I'm also having that too tonight. I had sex. And did some squats also for my daily exercise I started getting those feelings as well. So I'm using my contractions timer and my contractions are 10 mins apart. I hope you get some answers I wanna know if these are real ones.

Time them. Braxton hicks only last a few mins. I googled it and contractions will be consistant and get closer in mins apart. Keep an eye in your body and whats happening so you know...labor usually lasts hours so you should be able to get to a hospital be for anything serious :)
