Braxton Hicks feels more like a squeezing feeling whereas a real contraction feels more like pain.
They don't feel the same at all.

Braxton hicks don't hurt like contractions do, they are just uncomfortable/ WIth real contractions they are intense and just get worse.

If they start to get more frequent then just give your doctor a call to be safe. Good luck!!!!

I would always ask the dr. I would I know I was in labor and she said I would just know and you do. Contractions for me felt like menstrual cramps and Braxton Hicks felt more like a tighting and then a release. And when I went into labor it definitly did feel different.

So true! My OB told me I would know when I was in labor and she was right. Try moving around a bit and if it continues call your doc.
