I am in a constant BH contraction...

AlyRally · May 2010

...at least that's how it feels. I haven't timed them, because it's literally just every time I get up, and now some while I'm sitting down as well. So, I'm basically having one giant BH contraction, I think.

It's uncomfortable, but they don't hurt. So, I'm thinking it's fine. My question is does this translate into an earlier/quicker birth because my uterus is so obviously getting a good workout in before the big show?

i dont think its related at all. i never had any BHs with DS or real contractions at all until a few hrs before he was born. it was fast & easy without any BH

I think BH contractions make your uterus stronger! That would be a good thing!

If you are 35w+ and you are having constant contractions shouldn't you call your doc? The contractions I had with dd didn't start out painful but they still lead to her being born.

I've had the exact same thing since before 30w. Ob said as long as they aren't timable and getting stronger, you just hang in there. It would be nice if it meant something, but who knows! I'll cross my fingers for both of us

This can happen as your bladder and baby run out of room. I have this happen every time I get up and have any amount of liquid in my bladder. It can also mean you are a little dehydrated. Which then leads to more in your bladder, and endless circle, but good practice for the real thing!
