Braxton Hicks Posted: 11-29-05 13:35pm
Has anyone ever had really painful braxton
hicks???
I was up for an hour last night and they
were coming in every 5-6 mins, I put ice
on my belly (heat pads make me feel sick_)
and well they finally went away but I waa
incredibly exhausted after.
I know not every pregnancy is the same
but this just didnt feel right, I keep
getting them but usually not that close
together now I told dr today and he said
their is a possibility I may be due sooner
because my u/s have already given three
different dates....... Dr also said they
are going to stick with orginal date feb 2
but he said I may be due earlier or I have
one heck of a big baby....
Im seeing a family practice so I never
see the same dr, im so confused everytime
I see a dr I get different info the only
good info I have gotten is baby is 100%
healthy and my placenta has moved up to
low laying instead of previa...
Sorry for the long post im just bloody
confused!

The best advice I can give in this
instance is the advice our ob doc gave to
my wife.
When you are feeling the braxton-hicks and
even moreso when you are feeling like you
are in labor, you need to drink several 8
oz. Glasses of water and lay down on your
left side for about an hour. If the
contractions stop and you feel better then
all that was wrong is that you were
dehydrated if the pain does not go away
than most likly you are in real labor and
you are no longer experiencing
braxton-hicks but real labor contractions.
Good luck,

When ever you are having contractions like
that. You need to call your doctor to let
them know. They might just want you to
come in to check you. You might be
further along than what was said. The u/s
is not 100% accurate the further along in
a pregnancy.
Also you need to lay down and drink pretty
of fluids preferably water. If lying on
your side and drinking water doesnt stop
the pains then you are more than likely in
labor.. If you drinl the water and it
stops then you could just have been
dehyderated..
