Question

39 weeks pregnant . Have back pain & period like pains . Is this the start of labour of braxton hicks ?

Answer 1

More likely to be  labour pains - good luck!

Answer 2

I'm nearly 33 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing something similar for a few days which I've been putting down to Braxton Hicks.....but at 39 weeks, who knows?!  Best of luck if it is labour! x

Answer 3

If you were going into REAL labor your would have these pains more often and be certain number between each contraction. Braxton hicks labor is you have these pains but after a little while the pain goes away and doesn't come back.

Hope this helps if still unsure i would call your doctor.

Answer 4

Aint braxton hicks get to the hospital asap good luck...your in labour by the souns of thing

Answer 5

Your cramps may be contractions, you should definately be counting how far apart these pains are coming.. start the count when the first pain stops and the second one begins..and if they are steady, like 5 mins between each, then I would say..its time to go to the dr and have yourself a baby. Braxton Hicks is typically false contractions which is very common, but at this point of your pregnancy, I wouldnt say these are braxton hicks contractions, these may be the real deal. Call your doctor to make sure you should go in!  Good Luck and Congratulation!  

Answer 6

Hang in there!!  You're at the end of this stage..

Answer 7
