Contractions vs Braxton
Ok so I'm a little stupid 🤣 anywho, so all my kids so far have been induced so contractions and Braxton Hicks never really differed for me. So atm I'm 38 weeks and I'm hungry but the contractions are keeping me from actually getting up and making something. Are these real contractions or Braxton's? This will be the first time I'm not induced and I'm terrified because this baby is HUGE so I really don't want her to go over her dd in case they'll make me do a C.

Only way to know if they’re real is the frequency and if they’re getting closer together!
Do they feel tight, but not painful? That’s always the difference for me. With my Braxton hicks, I felt so much tightening which was really uncomfortable but not exactly painful. But contractions were painful!
The thing is that I feel like I'm having them both simultaneously because I'd have tightening and then followed by pain like period cramps. I'm also a little bitch so my pain tolerance is minimal 😂
Real contractions hurt like hell in my experience. So I’m just going with if I’m not in pain, I’m gonna assume BH
But that might not be accurate :)
