FTM Question. False Labor?

Is this false labor or am I just being I don't know... A clueless FTM? I feel like an idiot for even asking. I had Braxton hicks contractions for over an hour. They were five minutes apart, weren't painful at all. The belly would just get tight then relax. I got up and walked around and they stopped.

Re: FTM Question. False Labor?

  • Yes, false labor. Real labor will continue and intensify and not go away when you change position.

  • Hi, I'm chuggingwater. I've been having contractions 6-9 minutes apart since Thursday morning. They are different than the other contractions I've been having consistently for eight weeks.


    I think you're asking a question you already know the answer to.

  • Man, I'm also a FTM, and even I feel pretty confident in saying "no, you're not in labour".

  • If you have to ask then you aren't in labor.
  • If you are able to post stupid questions, you're not in labor.

  • I've been having sometimes barely noticeable but also sometimes painful BH since 28 weeks. I think I'm in labor but I can't find my baby cork ANYWHERE so I can't post a picture to be sure. I'll let you guys know how this works out.


    OP: YOU WILL KNOW FOR DAMN SURE WHEN YOU ARE IN LABOR.
