I had regular contractions with my son and my water didn't break they had to do it at the hospital cus when I got there I was dialated to a four so they kept me there

Try walking/ moving around during them, it could help either stop BH or just pain management if its the real thing. If they don't stop, go to the hospital.

If they're 5-7 minutes apart lasting 45-60 seconds long.. head to your doctor, sounds like true labor to me. Your water doesn't have to break and mucus plug doesn't have to be out.

I had regular and  consistent bh for about a week becore i went into labour. Its very frsterating and irritTing but u could always be in the first stages of lbour. Ur bh could trigger real contractions so watch for them to get more consistent and intensify as u get them. Good luck mama!
