I've had 2 rounds of an intense pain in both my sides...It feels like poop pains(sorry) but more painful...could it be? I feel fine now so I know nothings about to happen but I did have to stop what I was doing and kinda take it all in...

    Wow Ashley!  I have no advice because I don't believe I ever experience real contractions, just Braxton Hicks.  But I just wanted to say Wow!

    It could possibly be braxton hicks...a lot of people's don't hurt but mine did...and they started at about 34 weeks.  But it could be the real thing...either way you are getting closer :)

    My BH also hurt, so it may or may not be real.....the key is to try and time them over a period of an hour.  That usually will be able to tell you.  Good luck!!!

    I never had BH, but could be either one I guess! Not long to go, either way! :)

    If you keep getting them, drink a lot of water and lie down, and see if that helps.

    If it does keep going at a regular rate then you should call your doctor. I know you are close but 34 weeks is still very early. They may want to see you to see if they can slow down labor if that is what it is.

    When I had contractions, if felt like my entire stomach cramped up and god hard.. sometimes all the way to my back. It didn't hurt so much, it just felt tight.

    Thanks for the insight ladies! I'm feeling much better today...no tightening as of yet...I really hope they are gone for now...as much as I want to meet Baby PJ I want him to be at least 37 weeks when we do!
