Braxton hicks frequency

How often do you have them?  The past couple days I've been having them a lot.  They're not like my "real" contx I had with DS, but enough for me to have to lay down for a bit.  And, I don't remember having them this often, this early.  What gives?

    M-W this week I had them every 4-6 min.  I was monitored in L&D on Monday night and released.

    I have an appt this afternoon - they have "slowed" down.  But, I still get them every 15-20 min all day long.

    I get them frequently If I'm doing too much, however, once I lay down and drink water they seem to go away. My doctor asked me to work from home and reduce all physical activity until 35 weeks because the baby is already really low and the contractions will push her even lower. Hopefully she stays inside for a good while..

    If you drink some water and change your activity and are still having more than four an hour. You need to call your OB.
