It sounds like they are Braxton Hicks...the only way to know for sure is wait it out...real contractions do not lessen if you slow activity, Braxton Hicks usually do. Try laying on your left side, or just relaxing for a while and see what happens. Real contractions don't lessen at all, they keep getting more and more intense. You are getting close though, good luck! :o)

Sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions. If they look to be widespread, you must leisure and drink a few water. The extra hydrated you're the fewer you are going to have them. If you had been in early hard work, the contractions would not stop, they could simply maintain getting more potent. As a long way as the release, so long as there's no smell or something, it is common. Your frame raises vaginal discharge in education for supply, it's going to occur via the leisure of your being pregnant. The diarrhea was once most often anything you ate.

I had my daughter at 36 weeks. When I went to bed at like midnight, I was having what felt like mild cramps but could sleep I woke back up at like 4 in the morning whent to the hospital and had her at 10:48 PM. So it is possibly contractions.

Try taking a warm bath. If the pain stops, it is most likely Braxton Hicks. If it continues, you could be having contractions. Keep track of the time, if they continue regularly, becoming more frequent, maybe you are in labor.

If they are every hour etc...then u havent started active labor yet and wont be admitted if u go in...U are most likely in the early stages of labor where things dont get much worse just yet...Once your contractions reach 5 minutes or less apart go to the hospital or call your doctor...Good Luck!

I was induced but the start felt like mild to strong period cramps... keep watching the clock and trust me that baby isn't just going to fall out you have plenty of time left. Also you usually loose your mucus plug...you'll know when that happens. Good luck

I had my twins at 32 weeks, I didn't know i was in labour as my back was always sore, but i did feel constipated that day. I asked my midwife for a suppository and she said that she would examine me first.Turns out that i was dilated 8cm. good luck with the baby, try to rest just now as you will need all your energy for the delivery. x
