i am a ftm. i started having cramps and braxton hics at 11 am. it's been 2.5 hours, and they started off really bad then kinda dummed down. but haven't fully gone away. they are lasting anywhere from 30-40 second. every once in a while i get some really strong ones. they are starting to get worse in pain again.  And it hurts to walk or stand up. i can't even eat anything because of the pain and the smell of everything is making me want to puke.

I had that problem it could be real contractions but since they arent consistent with timing and they aren't lasting longer than 30-40 seconds they will send you home they said if you have contractions 5mins apart for 4 hrs and they started at 30-40 seconds and increased to 90 seconds your in true labor and need to go to labor and delivery but if they are consistent getting stronger or longer and your not bleeding and you havent had your water break its braxton hicks but do what you feel best

There are many things that can cause "contraction" like pains ..braxton hicks are fine but unless you know it's definitely braxton hicks please get checked.
It couls be nothing or Could be a complication. Better safe than sorry x
