No contraction

Oo, marami akong kaibigan na ganyan din, na dilated na pero walang signs of contraction, parang forever lang yung waiting period hirap ng buhay! The tigas ng tiyan is usually Braxton Hicks, which is totally normal at kung gaano ka-advance mo na, pero honestly better to check with your OB kung kelan na talaga mag-start ang actual labor, kasi bawat isa talaga ng different timing at walang standard timeline dito.
