Also, the cramps are starting to move beyond discomfort and into hurting and mild pain. Been alot in the last 18 hours... do these Braxton Hicks increase and just get more painful until it is the real thing? Is the naseua normal?

My mom is pregnant and having the same problems.
She said that her doctor said that you should take tylenol, and if it doesn't take care of the pain, you should go to the hospital.
Because tylenol doesn't take care of REAL labor pains

My Braxton-Hicks contractions always increased in frequency and began to get painful the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy. Right up until "real labor" I was having the BH contractions. In fact, the day before labor they felt very regular and I thought they were the real thing.
I'm not sure about the nausea. Could it be due to nerves or anxiety since your due date is approaching? Or are you having any loose stools with the nausea? That is sometimes a sign of approaching labor.
Best of luck!

Yes, all of this is very normal. I've had the nausea on and off for a few weeks now. The dr. told me phenegrin is still safe to take if you need to. Time your contractions to see if they are real and not braxton hicks... if they are coming at regular intervals call you dr. You don't want to take any chances. I've been getting braxton hicks for weeks now, but still no baby. :(

have you timed your contractions? Have you lost your mocus plug? Has their been any leakage of fluids? These are all signs that you are getting close...the only way to tell for sure if you are in labor is to time your contractions. If they last 30-60 seconds and are 5 minutes apart, then it is real and you are ready to go to the hospital. Braxton hicks are not consistent like the real ones. Good luck!

You might be 17 days early. Get checked by a Dr. or midwife. Like now!

Sounds to me like you are in labour. Call your doctor.
