Answer:

The answers are letters B and C.

Explanation:

<em>The differences between Braxton Hicks contractions and true labor are:</em>

<em>1. The braxton hicks contractions do not follow a consisten pattern, while the real contractions last around 30 to 70 seconds and repeat the same intervals.</em>

<em>2. Increasing frequency: The true labor happens after the increase of the real contractions frequency, meanwhile the braxton hicks  don't increase in frequency.</em>

<em>3. Intensity: the real contractions are way more painful than the braxton hicks. The braxton hicks contractions are not painfully mostly.</em>

<em>4. Location of discomfort: the true labor causes back pain, lower back pain that can spread to the legs. Braxton-hicks only causes abdominal pain, in the front.  In addition, changing positions and movement can stop the braxton hicks contraction. In a true labor, movement do not stop the real contractions.</em>
