Contractions or Braxton hicks

Been feeling this sharp tightening pain in my stomach. They are 10-15 mins apart lasting less than a min and has been going on for about 3 hours. Trying to sleep through it but it’s hard. Any suggestions 👀

That consistent, I’d say it might be contractions. I called my OB when I was having consistent but mild contractions (3 mins apart), they told me to take a bath (which definitely helped calm them down and feel less painful) and they told me to take some Benadryl to help sleep through the night. The Benadryl worked until around 4am when my water broke lol….maybe try any of the above to help get some rest?

I’m definitely about to try the Benadryl thank you so much. I have an appointment @8 so soon they will be checking everything out

That’s good, I’m glad! I hope the Benadryl helps you sleep some! Goodluck!

@Kaitlyn it was definitely contractions my water broke at 1:50 and he was born at 5:51 very short very painful but he is finally here

@Geneva omg that was fast!!! Congratulations!! I’m so glad baby boy and his mama are doing well!! I bet the Benadryl didn’t even have time to kick in before your water broke!

I’m sorry to hear it was so painful though…I’m glad it was short if it was going to be so painful 🥺
