I have 17 week and contractions, my Dr check me and my cervix is close, but am still have the contractions?!?!?

I'm assuming you're having BH and if your dr isn't concerned you shouldn't be.

Have you posted before? I must have missed an intro.

Are you sure they're contractions and not just round ligament pain?

I've been having Braxton hicks for a week now. Might be what you are having! Unless this isn't your first kid and you would know the difference.

I would say Braxton hicks as well. I've noticed them starting in the last week or so.

I agree with pp. Sounds like Braxton hicks. I was told during my lady pregnancy that dehydration cause them.

I started getting BH around 20 weeks with the last one, so if the doctor checked you and everything is fine that's probably what it is. Drinking lots of water always helped mine.

I've been getting super crampy and tightening just about everywhere and I know I'm dehydrated.
