- are infrequent, usually happening no more than once or twice an hour, a few times a day
- often stop if you change activity, so, walk around if you've been sitting, and vice versa
- are usually irregular, and if they are regular they only stay that way for a short spell
- do not last long, usually less than a minute
- continue to be unpredictable and non-rhythmic
- do not increase in intensity
Compared to Braxton Hicks contractions, labour contractions are usually:
- noticeably longer
- more regular
- more frequent
- more painful
- keep on going, increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity as time goes on
