Go and see a midwife. I did and was told I was in early labour and just had to wait this stage out, but at least I know its not a false alarm. Its just not fun having constant contractions for 4 days so far.
Braxton hicks will stop if you change position or drink fluids and wont follow a pattern and definitely wont last for 4 days straight like mine have so i know mine are real contractions and have been told i am in labour. Go and get checked out instead of guessing because if you are before 37 weeks its not good.

dani,
That's what I'm wondering too! I'm feeling pretty much the same way as you do physically and I'm even timing contractions but I am not sure what's going on. They are braxton hicks mixed with period cramps, coming 5--9 min apart in the last hour. It hurts but it doesn't seem to have a progresive pattern. i dont know!

With my first pregnancy walking for 5 hours and then having sex really speeded up the process...then I went to the hospital 12 hours later with 3 cm and I had to climb stairs for 1 hour. After that hour I was already in the pool ( because I had water birth ) and 7 hours later I had my precious baby boy in my arms.I think to speed the process you need a lot of movements and walking.Good Luck and we are waiting for good news from you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just checking in on you... sorry that this is dragging out for you, but hopefully you're right and the next part will go quickly for you!! Again, not speaking from experience, but I've heard that relaxing in a warm bath, and bouncing on a birthing ball are good ways to help get things moving. And of course the walking like you're already doing. Good luck to you!! I'll be looking for your updates!

still here with bump! still having painful contractions.....but still no "labour" agonising pains as yet. This "early labour" thing is rubbish !!! lol .... but I've heard that the longer this part is the shorter the next part which is all good in my book.
Managing to get a bit of walking (waddling) in each day and resting as much as possible...just gotta wait it out !

uhm braxton hicks are none of those things. I am sorry hun but like mamaof3 said its your body and you know it best not any doctor or midwife.. It does sound like you are in early labor and i know some women have experienced early labor for as long as a few days to even a couple weeks. Just keep timing them... how long are they lasting now??
