please please help Braxton hicks or slow labor?
Since 3pm yesterday i've been having these tightening feelings across my belly. i spent most of the night awake because of it. they last a few mins then they stop. but its been going on for so long i'm starting to think its slow labor. only problem is i'm due for another 5 weeks and my midwife is on holiday this week. please please help
If you aren't experiencing any pain or discomfort than my guess would be BH. Have they been getting closer together or all over the place time wise (time between, and duration of)? If it's just BH, they will sometimes subside by drinking a glass of water.
I agree with browneyedmama. I have braxton hicks frequently but there is no regular pattern. Are you drinking lots of water?
hmmm.... i would think they would be BH... have you tried timing them? are they consistent?? if they are consistant, i would suggest going to get checked out. let me know how it goes!! good luck
