I know by how I get them. Started getting them about week 25/26 and it was only if I walked far or stood for a long time. Now I’m 36 weeks and I get them most days unless I’m in three positions, on my ball, laying down or reclining in a chair. I guess you know it’s not the real thing because braxton hicks goes when you get comfy again where as contractions will be back and become worse 😂.
I’m 32 weeks on Saturday and I haven’t had any
I’m 20w and had them since 16w 🤷🏼♀️
Some people never feel Braxton Hicks, some people feel them from around 26 weeks. Everyone is different. ☺️ With actual contractions, you won’t be able to hold a conversation and will likely be bracing yourself by holding on to something because of the pain (this is what my midwife has told me). ☺️
