Braxton Hicks

Laurenchrislevi

I need some advice, I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions all day long. I am 28 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I've been having BH's off and on every 5 to 10 minutes. I've propped my feet up, drank a lot of water, and I've taken a bath and just relaxed and nothing seems to stop them.

Call your OB and let them know. I had the same thing at 34 weeks and they wound up admitting me for observation to make sure it wasn't progressing to the real thing.

Ditto the PP. You are early in your PG - I would call your OB. He/she will most likely want to to go to L&D for monitoring to make sure you don't actually go into labor.

Agree with PPs, that seems like a lot. I was told to try what you did - water and lay down - and if it doesn't stop to call. Better safe than sorry!

If they're coming at regular, timeable intervals and are not settling down, that is not a good sign. I hope you did call.

I was also told walking with Bh helps and slows them down

Actually contractions which feel a little different to me don't stop and get worse

My mfm and ob both said to come in if that is the situation. Be well!
