Hi everyone, I'm getting closer to my due date and feeling a bit confused. How do I actually identify what real contractions feel like versus just normal pregnancy discomfort? Any tips on telling the difference would be great.
Haan na, starting me bohot confusion hota hai! Real pain waves ki tarah aata hai aur body position change karne se bhi thik nahi hota. Agar bohot pain ho raha hai toh please doctor ko phone karo, bilkul risk mat lena ho na.
I used a contraction timer app during my third trimester, it was a lifesaver! Real contractions get closer together, last longer, and don't stop even if you change position or drink water. The app makes it so easy to track the intervals before calling the gynac.
Oh god, that feeling is unforgettable but beautiful! For me, it started like bad period cramps in the lower back that slowly wrapped around to my tummy. You will just *know* when it's the real deal because they become very regular and intense, trust your body mama!
I am 36 weeks now and constantly worrying about this same thing! Sometimes my stomach gets really tight for a minute but there is no pain, is that Braxton Hicks? How do we differentiate between false and real labor pain in the last weeks?
True labor contractions will feel like a tightening of the stomach that comes at regular times. If they are getting stronger and closer, please contact your doctor. Wishing you a very safe and smooth delivery.
