Thank you..I've been having real contractions but they're 38 minutes apart. Then they stop after a while.
I got this after sex also mucas with a little blood as well and contractions every 5 mins. I ended up going in to be seen but I wasn't dilating so got sent home. If your contractions are regular I would get checked to be safe they gave me the steroid jabs just in case it was the start of things x
There is a hormone in sperm that can induce/help get labor going. You should keep track of your contractions. If they stay at a regular pace and get stronger you should most likely be seen just to make sure. I went into preterm with one of my kids and I was told to lay on my left side and monitor the contractions for an hour and if they got better or went away probably just Braxton hicks. Good luck!!!
