BH Question

sunny311

How many BH is enough to call about? I haven't been keeping exact track but I do know I am having them every few minutes. There not painful, just uncomfortable, and often with some oressure in my lower pelvic area. I don't remember having them so frequently with my last two pregnancies. TIA

I think it depends on how far along you are. I asked this last week (at my 34 week appt) and he said that at this point, not to bother calling unless I was white-knuckling through them. Or they were really consistent, strong, and progressing. Previously, I had been told more than 4 in an hour was a phone call, but that was at like 20+ weeks. I basically have non-painful BH all day long. There's barely a time when my belly ISN'T tight. We'll see next week if it's actually made me dilate at all. I don't worry too much because I don't get tons of ACTUAL contractions that have a little oomph behind them.
