Labor pains will increase in frequency, whereas Braxton Hicks contractions will eventually disappear.
Braxton Hicks contractions tend to be irregular. Real labor pains usually have a pattern to them.
Braxton Hicks contractions don’t cause pain, but more of a discomfort, unlike real labor contractions.
