Braxton Hicks*

I was just curious how many of u preg
girls are getting braxton hicks
contractions or how many did if u already
had your babies? I get them daily but
not to where I need to worry yet or
anything because their normally spaced far
apart and aren’t following any patterns as
of yet. I thought I was getting them at
even 20 weeks but my doctor told me that
it was from something else because braxton
hicks wouldn’t occur yet? They ended up
saying it was from my bladder infection.
I don’t know but im sure that’s what they
are now (im almost 34 weeks) but it
tightens and my stomach gets really hard
for like 30 seconds or so but normally not
more then that. Think so right? But
anyhow im just wondering who else is
getting them!

Yea mine have been getting alot more
frequent. I dont know how many I have
during a day, maybe I should count..But I
know its quite a few. But their not close
together so I shouldnt worry right? I
have been feeling achey tho so hopefully
its nothing.. Probably just pregnancy
discomfort but im a big worrier!

I get them ever so often! Man oh man they
are crazy are they not???
Well, I dont get them so regular. I get
maybe 1-2 a day sometimes none. Is that
normal too? Does that mean my body is not
prepaing for hayley? Or does it mean she
will be 2 weeks late? The braxton hicks
just prepare us for labor right, so what
if we dont get them?
Lots of love,
heather and hayley

Hey when I was pregnant I had braxton
hicks all the time like all day long
sometimes close sometimes far apart but
usually like 24/7 I would get them and it
was like that for a month or two and it
was nothing.. Keep in mind that these
were just painless contractions I could
feel my stomach always tightening but I
felt no pain.

I was readin that an inflamed bladder from
an infection can bring on contractions,
thats probably what you had before, but it
is possible to start gettin braxton hicks
any time after the 20th week... Ive been
gettin them for awhile... Once in a great
while I will have a somewhat painful one
but when I switch positions it stops...
Otherwise they are just uncomfortable, I
can feel it tightening, and it feels
really uncomfortable if im
standing/walking... I worry alot too...
I was gettin them before my 20th week so
im worried it might be a sign of possible
premature labor down the road... But my
doctor just said that if they get regular
then I should worry, other than that its
just fine cuz my body is just preparing
itself for the real deal.
