Braxton hicks is different from the real contractions. BH feels like tight squeezing for a few seconds in your belly but not painful and normally will go away when you change your position or could be due to dehydration too so need to drink lots of fluids. While contraction pain is more intense. Normally the pain comes from your back, to the front and vagina. Feels like everything in your stomach is painful and you feel like you want to poop so very bad. Some sort like that feeling. Contractions pain differs to every mum. But it will not go away no matter what you do so need to time the interval. If it becomes too intense, 5-10 mins then head down to the hospital.
