You might start to feel Braxton Hicks contractions as you told, which are like warm-ups to prepare your uterus for the real labor to come. They may feel a lot like labor and can eventually progress to it.

Usually these type of contractions will slow down with rest and hydration. Make sure to drink plenty of water. A warm bath also helps your muscles to relax, and will often slow of these contractions. If rest doesn’t work, sometimes changing position or walking may help.

Even if you experience a discomfort and the contractions are so painful & coming regularly, You should call your doctor.
