This could not have been braxton hicks!

edited June 2011 in Giving birth
Last night (like an hr after sex, sorry tmi) I started getting these pains in my lower back, and my stomach got real tight. when it came back 5 mins later, I realized it was contractions so I started timing them. (i have an app for that) so anyways to make a long story short, I had contractions every 4-5 mins for over an hour, but then I feel asleep. Now this morning nothing? Had this happened to anyone, I swear it couldnt have been braxton hicks, because I changed positions walked around and they still came, also I read online that when you have pain in your back then its true labor not braxton hicks... But it makes no sense to me?

  • I'm 39 weeks and have had that same thing. It'll seem like I'm in labour and then just go away. If you're concerned, call your Dr, but false labour van happen.
  • @homebirthadvocate thats what happened last night, I fell asleep after about an hr and a half, so I dont know if they continued after that...but most of them where bad where I had to stop what I was doing and take deep breaths, but if it was true labor why did it stop?
  • @janellesmommie @natashalynn I think I might call my doctor and tell them about last night and see if they want to see me or not, cause my appt isn't until friday...thanks

  • @homebirthadvocate thanks, this is my second baby, but my first I was induced so I never had to worry about when it was the real thing, with my first I also never had BH contractions.
