What do you think?

Hi there everyone, Im 38 weeks and 3 days today and as from about 3/4 hours ive been having braxton hicks every 9/10 mins. What do you think this could mean? could it be the start of labour or is it just my bodies way of getting ready for the big day. There not painful just uncomfortable.

I agree, keep an eye on them! Keep yourself busy as well or go for a nice walk. If they just go away, you know they are not real, but if they seem to get closer or stronger, then you will know. The day I went into labor, I went to the mall and walked like a crazy woman. lol. The contractions were still very sporatic. Got home and 3-4 hours later, they were every 2-3 min. So ya never know! Hopefully it's getting closer for you! Keep us posted. *thinking of you*

Keep an eye on it...they may become more painful and closer together, or they may just quit after awhile. I had that happen quit a few times the wk before I went into labor... I would start getting contractions then they would quit. Could be close, could still be a couple wks. Keep an eye on it and keep us updated!!
