Aw FTM friend, I totally get the worry, honestly pag dating ng 34 weeks parang nag-start na ang paranoia haha, pero good that you're preparing! True labor contractions usually start from your back tapos umakyat papunta sa front, regular and getting closer together, at hindi nawala kahit gumagalaw ka, while Braxton-Hicks (yung false labor) ay random, hindi painful, at parang practice lang ng katawan mo. A few of us moms swear na the real deal feels like intense period cramps combined with pressure, at mahirap na talaga makipag-usap or breathe during, hindi like discomfort lang. Since you're still weeks away, I'd really suggest bringing these questions sa OB mo sa next check-up kasi she can walk you through it properly and check kung lahat ay okay, plus safer na marinig from the doctor directly so you're 100% confident, you know?
