Real or Fake??

Reading up today on contractions.... I've had Braxton Hicks before and now that it's getting closer I need to know the differences between real or fake!!! I just read; call your Dr. when contractions get to five minutes apart and last 60 sec. for a least an hour.. Pretty much I'm timing myself right now because I have no idea?!? I can still breath and talk normal, my belly just gets really hard and kinda hurts... only lasting seconds? I did take a long walk this morning. I guess I'll call the Dr. in an hour or so if it keeps up!! My guess is that Maverick will be here by the end of the week, but who knows maybe sooner? I got together with my mommy friends last night to talk about labor... got some great info. but everyone has a different story! I'm such a planer and this drives me nuts!! About to get up and see if they slow down or not.... I'll keep you posted! Looking forward to getting the boy out!!!!

  1. If you are having more than 5 of these tightening contractions an hour you should call doc. you will know if they are real if they come out of your back around to the base of stomach. they will hurt more than just tightening but if you are having so many BH then you should still call. Real contractions will take your breath away.
