| Are you having bloody show? If contractions are regular 5 minutes apart lasting anywhere from 40-60 seconds and they don't go away then you might be in early labor; however if your contractions go away then it sounds like braxton hicks contractions to me.
HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE CONCERNED....CONTACT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER!!! | |
