I'm also 38 weeks and 5 days and I've been getting BH contractions all day yesterday my stomach gets really hard and then I get a sharp cramp in my vagina. But then they go away. Usually I get 2 contractions back to back.
I just realized you are the only one who commented. Thank you
Ok thank you ladies. Ill keep an eye on them :)
5 or more in "one" single hour, are more then your average Braxton hicks contractions and should be monitored, call your doctor as well!! Hopefully this is the "real thing" :-)
Every 3 minutes?? Then that's not Braxton Hicks, those sound like actual contractions! Try walking, drinking water and laying down...if while in the process these contractions progress, go to the hospital to see if you are dilated.
