Is this the start of labour??
I am 37w today, never had braxton hicks so I don’t know if it’s this or the start of labour. I have had a dull cramp since 2pm today, with pains for the last 4h and getting more and more intense. They’re only around 30s long which is making me think it’s not the start of contractions? But equally I am doubling over in pain.
It starts on the right hand side and goes all the way to the front of my stomach each time just below my belly button. And then occasionally it feels like my vagina is also on fire!
For the past week I’ve had sickness and diarrhoea too but not noticed any bloody show or waters breaking!
Bad braxton hicks or start of contractions?

For me thats how labour felt. If your doubling over in pain i'd call up and see what theyve advise xx
Sounds more like labour to me. How frequent are they? Are you using an app to time them to see if they're getting more frequent?

Hard to say tbh as it’s different for everyone 😂 for me this is what bad braxton hicks are like, contractions were more like pain all around my back, sides, stomach, really painful period pains and tightening But for you this could be the start of something as not everyone feels it the same xx
