Braxton hicks or true labour

Hi mummies! Am 38 weeks pregnant and just got a sweep yesterday. Cramping took effect immediately after the sweep and lasted for the whole night. however it was bearable. Interval was rather close yesterday and pain remained constant (a little more painful) than braxton hicks tbh but got better today. Is this normal? Still confuse if it’s true or false labour.

If u r feeling better now den it cud be braxton hicks. If real contractions its will be there until baby is out. Gets more intense n more frequent along the way

Same 38wks and doctor do sweep. Got spotting after that. If still bearable then could be braxton
