Is It Labor? Or Is It Braxton Hicks? Knowing This Will Help You Tell The Difference!

Have you been experiencing activity in your uterus and you're not sure is it BRAXTON HICKS or TRUE LABOR CONTRACTIONS or is this a case of an IRRITABLE UTERUS or are you having PRODROMAL LABOR?

Let me break it down for you:
I'll talk about what braxton hicks contractions are
I'll talk about true labor contractions and what they feel like
I'll compare the two with a nice chart you can screen shot if you want to keep it for your reference
I'll show you braxton hicks AND true labor contractions and what they do to your cervix with a demo
I'll tell you what prodromal labor is (and why it's awful!!)
I'll talk about an irritable uterus and how it differs from braxton hicks
I'll talk about the rule I use for figuring out when I should go to the hospital

Hopefully by the end of it you'll have an better understanding of if what you are experiencing is the real thing and you should pack that hospital bag for labor and delivery OR if you should rest at home and save the trip for another time!
