Another BH question

in May 2011 Moms

Im still having these damn BH all the time & they are so flipping painful I feel like I could just die!! :( Called the Dr yesterday they told me to drink plenty of water & rest or walk around breathe .... yada yada yada

Anyway after a painful round of agony the LO starts going crazy kicking & moving every which way, which is uncomfortable in itself!! So my questions are, *are your BH super painful & what do you do to ease the pain? & *Does your LO go crazy after them?

    BH are NOT painful... I'd be calling the OB to come in and be seen not just blown off and told to drink water.

    I had an irritable uterus with my son and while the constant BH were annoying, they were never painful.  I felt some pressure, but not pain.  But, if they are going away after rest and drinking water, they're most likely BH.  Regular contractions would not stop for rest and water.

    Ditto the previous answers...BH should not be painful.  My can be constant and really annoying but they don't actually hurt.  The only way I got rid of mine the other night was a warm bath.

    BH generally aren't super painful but they can hurt or be pretty uncomfortable.  It's hard to tell because people's descriptions of pain are so subjective.  

    Have you been able to get rid of them with the water, walking around, etc.?  If you can't get rid of them, then you need to call your doctor back or go into L&D triage.  Painful contractions that you can't get rid of are concerning at this stage.
