Annoying contractions or just BH?

Question

im having CONSTANT contractions...like maybe every 10 min... they make my tummy very hard and i can not move because my stomach wont move with me and the baby is breech so her head like right there, which makes it uncomfortable and kind of painful i just feel like my stomach is gonna pop open. I go to the doctor on thursday so i'm thinking of just waiting it out. Do you guys think its just BH or actual contractions.. if its real contractions they will keep me awake right? i wont be able to sleep through them?

Answer 1

i had alot of BH with my daughter for weeks, probably from 32 onward. it was awful and painful, she was breech and im sure it was my body trying to turn her. she never did turn mind you. Let your midwife know, she may want to put you on a machine to measure uterine activity to make sure it is just BH

Answer 2

Im 38 wks and for the past 2 wks ive been having the same thing. BH every 10 min all day EVERY DAY! It does get aggravating and uncomfortable but i just look at it as my body preparing for labor real soon. If they start becoming real painful where you cant talk through them and they are 5 min or less apart then you def need to go to the hospital. Those are concidered REAL labor contractions. I started having those last week and they arent fun but they did UNFORTUNATELY go away. Good luck hun!!!  

Answer 3

if these are real then you should be able to lay on your left side and drink water they should go away but if they are real then you need to go to the hopital because you cannot deliver a breech baby. that is dangerous.
