Braxton hicks or contractions

I had a back to back labour but when I had my first active contraction it was a dull period like pain. These intensified to feeling like I was being crushed between a car and a wall 😅 I started to time the contractions as qt first I was also unsure if it was the real deal or BH. I soon realised it wasn't the hicks haha! Download a contraction timer and record the length and frequency. This should indicate as BH are irregular. Good luck!!! Xxx

I’m curious what you’re feeling? I heard for everyone it’s different. I’ve been having menstrual feeling like cramps at night and in the am for awhile now. Until last night I was woken up by extreme tightening of my tummy. All of this is accompanied with lower back pressure. I read some women feel menstrual like cramps entire time while others say you get more of an intense wrap around effect. Lol
