How many Braxton Hicks a day?

Just trying to figure out if what I have is normal or higher than average, indicating that things may be starting.... do you have 5? 10? 15 a day? Just sitting there or usually with exertion? Interested to hear your experiences....

    I've only had BH once...ever. So I average 0 a day. I sure hope they are not an indicator of progress, because in that case, I'm screwed!

    Too many to count the last couple of days, but before I think it was around 10.  A lot more with exertion, but everything is taking exertion now.  Flipping over in bed can do it.  Just sitting here does it sometimes, too.

    I've only experienced two this entire pregnancy - wish I could be more help. I keep hoping I'll feel any type of contractions soon...

    Mine vary. They have started to pick up more here lately. Sometimes i'll have 1 a day.. sometimes I have so many in a day I can't count them. I get them when i'm sitting here or when i'm doing something. Mainly when i'm just sitting here on the couch i'll get them. Getting up and moving doesn't always make them go away either.

    I've only had a few this entire pregnancy so I'm not much help. I just know to let the doctor know if I have so many (I don't remember how many) in an hour.

    I get them throughout the day, I don't always notice them. But I get them many times during the day. I was told if I experience more than 6-7 an hour that I should call the dr.

    I didn't have any with DS, but with this pregnancy I get them frequently throughout the day.  Activity/ inactivity doesn't really affect them.  My Dr. said if I get more than 5 an hour I should call her.

    I get them every day, multiple times a day.  I mostly realize I have them when I am sitting at my desk at work or when I am lying in bed watching tv before bedtime.
