Braxton Hicks vs Contractions?

[*LittleMissSummer*]

The way i could tell mine apart were. Braxton hicks were in the front it wasnt until i started getting the back pain i knew i was having real contractions. And then it became like really bad period pain.

my contractions were like my insides were being squashed together, kinda like when u make a fist that sort of action.. sorry not a great discription...
they were sharp compared to my braxton hicks being more of a ache...

hope things have settled down with the nifedipine

Things started up @ 10:30am even with the Nifedipine this morning, my OB wants me to go into her office for CTG monitoring, because she wants to see what is happening, so when my friend arrives I will head over.

My ctx were more in my thighs than my belly, which apparently is a sign that the cervix is dilating. I'm glad you are going in though it sounds like a check-up might be a good idea.
