Contractions or not?

Hi, im 36 week's pregnant and im having regular cramps moving from my lower support around to my lower stomach. Does this sound close to contraction's or braxton hick's? When your in grind where something like does the pain start because the top of my bump doesnt hurt in recent times the lower half. My lower stomach is really tightening up too. Thank's! (finger's crossed that it is vocation lol!)


Answers:    Hi. I had this come to pass with my most up-to-date baby. It sounds resembling preterm labor. I had this surface 5 times and every time i went to the hospital they administered medication to stop it because it be to early. Have to tried walking around and seeing if they verbs and then resting to see if it's like? Try that and also maybe try a hip bath to relax your muscles. Unfortunately this could go on for a while. You should name your doctor hey don't subside. I hope this helps!


They don't necessarily become closer because sometimes you will be stuck contained by the inactive phase, as i be. Braxton Hicks are not felt through the belly and rear.
That sounds like concrete labor. You don't want to go into labor at 36 weeks, though- it's considered hasty until 37 weeks.

I haven't had existing contractions yet, but I'm due surrounded by two weeks, so I've been preparing by reading up on symptoms. I would name your doctor and tell him.

Try resting or walking around- if the contractions travel away with shifting position or movement, they are Braxton Hicks, but if they continue and regular (you can time them) next it's labor.
if they are coming at regular intervals (ie every 7 min, every 5 minutes, etc) then I would enunciate it is likely. If they are coming consistently, but not regularly (is one 5 min afterwards one in 10 min, consequently 4 min, then 15 min) after I would say it is possible, but not immensely likely. My labor next to my daughter was acoss my unbroken belly, and with my son it be mainly contained by my lower abdomen and put money on. It varies per individual and per baby :p Use your gut instinct. It never hurts to obtain checked out. good luck!
