Braxton hicks or contractions ?

For the past 24 hours I’ve been getting very uncomfortable cramping a little worse than period cramps. Not extremely painful though and the pain comes and goes. I am 35 weeks & 4 days pregnant called my OB she said to go to the hospital cause she can’t really determine over the phone. What do you ladies think ?

Belly "mapping"

Hi mommas, I'm 28 weeks and I was wondering who else enjoys to 'belly map' their babies? I can't tell exactly which body part is where, bit the difference in the belly 'firmness' between where my baby is and where the belly is 'empty' is kinda crazy!
