Well they could probally be bh, because they give you false alarms. But if you want, check in with a doctor to make sure ~

I am scared to know what contractions feel like, my sisters said its hell the last 3 weeks of pregnancy! So I cant really tell you if they are or arent except it sounds something like a contraction or they could just be pains because the baby is pushing on some of your nerves. I get some weird pains all the time. Like the other night I was sitting on a recliner in my living room and all of the sudden I felt like someone was stabbing me in my butt so I jumped up and screamed! My mom was like what is wrong with you? I told her about the pains and she told me that sometimes the baby rests on some of the nerves in your body. I guess she was laying on my siatic nerve cause it was pretty painful.

Every woman is different when it comes to labour. Some women are in excrutiating pain others have no problem. What you want to watch out for is if they intensify and get closer together. Dont hesitate to call oyur doctor or go to the er. My friend swore up and down she was not in labour and had her baby on the bathroom floor Exclamation
