A member asked:

I'm 37 weeks & i have been having braxton hicks off & on.11pm my stomach got rock hard & has been hard it's now 5:30am & still hard and back pain. ?

Get checked: You might have true contractions if indeed your stomach/uterus is rock hard. Seeing your OB/GYN would be recommended and if they are unavailable it would be prudent to go to the emergency room, check your baby, cervix, urine and much more. Good luck!
