Don’t know if there contractions or Braxton Hicks contractions

Okay

According to the 5-1-1 rule, the recommendation is to go in when contractions are 5 min apart and last 1 minute, for at least 1 hour (so 10-12 contractions in an hour) but if in doubt, you can always go in although they might send you back home. Better safe than sorry though

I haven’t been counting

Contractions usually Braxton hicks are also usually in the upper abdomen no natter what I go to the hospital even if I'm half having a lil bit of anything you never know and they encourage it go in better to be safe than sorry

My OB literally told me today that if I feel anything like this to call in because it might be labor. Lower back pain that’s unbearable. Baby might be ready!!

Yeah I know

@Destiny they usually aren't painful it's really rare because it's just the muscles tightening uncomfortable yes but not painful that's probably real contractions tbh

@Destiny I guess whatever u say I'm going off studies and the facts you can google it even those are regular pregnancy pain not braxton hicks mayeb your confusing them but ok

better play the lotto cause you 1 in a million

@Destiny it's not a debate like I said go play the lotto your 1 in a million ask your doctor that's rare the pain is usually stemming from something else but whatever it's not me suffering

good 👍
