A member asked:
For the last 4 hours i've been getting frequent long lasting painless braxton hicks contractions. i'm 30 weeks pregnant. they last for about 15 mins. is this labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs evaluation : Generally we advised patients to go to labor and delivery to be evaluated if their contractions are five minutes apart for at least an hour. At 30 weeks you will need to be evaluated to see if this is preterm labor or braxton hicks.
