difference between contractions??

I get braxton hicks all the time but how will I know if it's a real contraction? I've heard some women say they can feel slight to extreme pain with real contractions and the BH ones hurt a lot of the time. Should I also time what I think are BH contractions?

BH aren't usually timeable or consistent. there is a different kind of pain from BH and real contractions.
if they are real they become consistent and more of a pain that is different from BH. they intensify. regardless of whether you are moving around or laying down they continue and strengthen
