How many Braxton Hicks are you having a day?

Some days I wonder if it's too many.  I think I'm mainly getting them a lot when my bladder is full at night, when I'm slightly dehydrated, or when I've been on my feet most of the day.  They never hurt or anything and just feel tight.

I'm just curious what everyone else is experiencing!

Re: How many Braxton Hicks are you having a day?

  • I only suttly feel maybe 1-2 a day. I am sure I have more than that though and just don't feel it, or am too busy to notice.

  • Several.  Usually 2-3 an hour.  Sometimes more than that, sometimes less.

  • I get anywhere from 4 to 8 an hour some days, sometimes they hurt and take my breath away...my ob isn't concerned, no changes to my cervix, she said that may just be the norm for my body...

  • Hmmm...I haven't been counting. Maybe I should though. I notice them more when I know that I am dehydrated though and some days they are pretty frequent.

  • I asked my doctor today if there was a number I needed to be worrying about because I've been having a lot lately. She didn't seem concerned at all about how many in an hour or anything like that. She just said to notice if they are getting more severe or

  • It varies from day to day but I get quite a lot. I've been quite active today and had about 3 to 5 every hour. They settled down when I took a long rest.

  • I probably have 30-40 a day, but I know that's more than most ppl have. I had kind of a lot with my earlier pregnancies, then more with each subsequent pregnancy. I seem to have painful ones for about 2-3 hours every evening, once I'm off my

  • I had them very frequently over the weekend, probably 4-5 an hour. Usually I have that many in a day. I mentioned it to my doctor and he checked my cervix (I already had an appointment scheduled for this morning, just a routine one) and everything is fine
  • I've mostly been getting them on the weekends when I'm more physically active. I grabbed a 2-liter bottle off a high shelf at Target yesterday and that started one. Fortunately they're not painful and my OB isn't concerned at all.

  • It depends on how active I am being. I get a few throughout the day while I am working. Even though I am on my feet a lot at work, I take frequent sitting breaks. But after work as I walked around Ikea for 2 hours I had several that took my breath away. O

  • I get them frequently when I exercise, and I dont like it at all.  Just about every few minutes.  So I've backed off on the exercise and mostly just do stretching now. 

    Other than that, I only get them when I'm really busy running
