Need advice from mamas who did vaginal delivery

I never went through contractions since my first was early c section due to hypertension. But I’m 36 weeks+ 1 day and I’m having a lot of pain that reminds me of the pitocin. Plus feeling super heavy in my pelvis. Don’t think I’m having contractions so i don’t think I’m in labor but…. Question is, in between contractions do you feel pain or is it only painful during the contractions?

In early labor, it’s only pain during contractions. When in active labor, it’s pain during contractions and then pressure in between. Try drinking some water and or body armour drink. It could be Braxton hicks. Those are common towards the end of your pregnancy. If you have an app to time contractions, use it. And consult with your doctor if you’re worried or have questions ❤️

@Yasmine what app did you use? I hadn’t even thought about getting an app

@Natalie I think it was called contraction counter or something like that. If you just type “contraction tracker / counter” in the App Store stuff will come up. I haven’t used it in years so idk the name of the exact app. Sorry

@Yasmine thank you. I’m also on so much general pain the last 24 hours even though i slept and resting. No contractions but just never ending pain in lower back and wrapped around to my pelvis
