How to Differentiate Between Braxton Hicks and Labor Contractions?
It can be challenging to differentiate between Braxton Hicks contractions and true labor contractions, but there are some key differences:
Regularity: Labor contractions are regular and get closer together over time, whereas Braxton Hicks are irregular. Intensity: Labor contractions increase in intensity and pain, while Braxton Hicks usually remain mild and do not intensify. Duration: Labor contractions last longer over time, whereas Braxton Hicks are shorter and inconsistent.
