Braxton Hicks ? Frequency

How often do you guys get Braxton Hicks Contractions?  I only get a few - 3 or 4 a day on my days off.  But when I work I get a lot more.  I counted today and it was 18.  I work 10 hour shifts on my feet and am guessing that is why I get them so much more.  I don't have another appt for 3 weeks, so I can ask then, but in the meantime do any of you experience such a difference between days you work and days you don't?

    I haven't counted them or anything but I get a lot sometimes right after each other.

    I am the exactly the same.  I get a few on my days off, but I get a lot while I'm at work.  I too spend a lot of my day on my feet.

    I get them all the time.  My OB says only to worry if I get more than 6 per hour.  So I wouldn't worry otherwise.  In you are still worried, I'd call and ask.

    I get them all of the time, whether I'm at work or not. The only thing that I have noticed about them is that they seem to come on more frequently when my LO is very active...

    I notice them when I am exercising with the dog. Some times they get pretty intense and painful!

    Thanks!  I don't think I have ever had more than 2 or 3 per hour, so I'm sure I am fine there.  I don't drink as much water while I work which probably makes it worse too.
