counting contractions

My stomach rights and stays tight for a couple of minutes. I want to make sure its just braxton hicks and not actual contractions but I don't know how to count them. Do you count them at the beginning to the beginning of the next or from the end of one to the beginning of the other?

Start to start gives you time between contractions. Download an app! You let it know when you feel the start of a contraction and when it ends and it'll save and lol the information for when you go to l&d!
