    For me, Braxton Hicks contractions never felt like period cramps, but that is exactly how I would describe my actual labor pains. Call your doctor. Good luck!

    Sounds more like round ligament pains. However, if you're concerned, call your OB.GL!

    I'm at 28 weeks 1 day, and have had my OB tell me that I was feel Braxton Hicks Contractions. Which is gpong to become more and more common, the further along I get! But it's also been Round Ligament Pain. So, my body is just as confused as I am. :)) But if I were you, I would call my doctor up, and see what's going on. Especially if you're really worried, concerned, and/or stressed by it.

    I never felt BH contractions, though my doctor told me I was having them during a NST.  My actual labor pains did start out feeling like period cramps though.  If they're not getting predictable, closer together, and increasingly painful, it's likely they are BH.  Put your feet up and drink a lot of water.  But at 34 weeks, I'd probably call your doctor just to be sure...if for some reason they are real labor pains, the doctor will want to do something to stop them until you are closer to full term.
