How Fast Will It be in real labor

Hi... you might find this information useful Braxton Hicks vs. true labor contractions Braxton Hicks contractions are irregular and infrequent. They usually last about 15 to 30 seconds (but sometimes as long as two minutes), and they should subside when you change positions. Real labor contractions are relatively regular and grow stronger, longer and closer together as you near labor. They usually last about 30 to 70 seconds each, and they don't ease with a change in activity. Each one feels like a very strong menstrual cramp. The purpose of labor contractions is to thin and dilate the cervix, whereas Braxton Hicks contractions are just practice for the real thing. Real contractions may also be accompanied by other common labor signs, including a pinkish or blood-streaked discharge known as bloody show. And you'll know they're real contractions if your water breaks or you lose the mucous plug.
