A member asked:

Can you have braxton hicks 3 to 4 minutes apart and back pain? i'm currently 31 weeks pregnant

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Adam Lewis answered

Premature labor: The contractions are much too close together. Rest, put your feet up, and call your obstetrician as you may be in early labor.
