A member asked:

35 weeks pregnant, is it real contractions or braxton hicks one every few hours? hurts so bad i have to crouch over and breath deeply till it stops

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Braxton Hicks: You are probably having Braxton Hicks contractions. These contractions can sometimes be quite painful. Make sure that you stay hydrated. Labor pains usually become more frequent and stronger with time. You are considered in labor only when the pains cause your cervix to become thinner and the cervix starts dilating. Call your Doctor if yor have vaginal bleeding, or your condition worsens.
