How do you reliably tell the difference between contractions and braxton hicks?
I’m 38+4 weeks, 2nd pregnancy but was induced with my first so I don’t know how it feels to go into labour naturally. I am feeling contractions which feel like period pain in my lower belly, but they’re not regularly spaced or consistent in length. Does this sound like braxton hicks? I had assumed so but keep reading online that BH are uncomfortable but not painful - these are painful but not agonising, about period pain level.
My baby is breech so I don’t want to risk leaving things too long…!
