pooh22

So I been havin these unusual pains n my lower abdomen but they come n go I been so uncomfortable for the past two days I jus wanna kno wat does ur braxton hicks feel or how u knew the difference between hicks n contractions and how far along were u wen they started I'm 30w2d could this b a sign of preterm labor? Please help me

those sound like braxton hicks . im 34 weeks and 5 days . and have been having them off and on for about a month or so . if they come and go and arent constant and go away when you drink water and walk around then its hicks . contractions dont go away there constant and dont go away when you move around or try and drink any water . hope this helped . good luck .

Just saw this what happened? Was it a false alarm or labor?

Actually I chalked it up to being dehydrated n constipated n drank some gatoraid n when I woke up I felt a whole lot better stomach not hurting or anything I would've went but I jus had an Ob app on tues n told her how I was feeling n she said nothin was wrong n jus keep water n my life but one thing I'm testing now is wen I dnt take tylenol will I still have cold sweats during the night I'm hoping that was jus getting the fever out of me so we will see thanks ladies any suggestions will b great!!

the way you can tell the difference is.. with BH Contractions you can create this post... if its real contractions the last thing you would be thinking of is creating a post.

@Ynvtish I honestly b thinkin the same thing these females now days b on fb like "my contractions are killing me" n the next thing u kno they like I'm n labor. Then it b like yayy had my baby at this time this room number baby weighed this everybody is here supporting us n the next thing u know soon as the baby gets clean they got pics up. I be like damn didn't u jus have this child 2 hrs ago? Y are u on fb all I kno is imma through my phone wen I'm on the drive to the hospital shoot if any one wants to b there they better hope I dnt forget it. LOL

@pooh22 ... I feel you girl! My labors are painful and tiresome. All these boards and Facebook would have to take back seat until a week after delivery
