Ugh, BH contractions...

Anyone else been having BH contractions a lot?  I have been having them on and off for three days now.  My uterus tightens up like a vice every time I stand up!  It's so annoying and kind of painful. 

I talked to a nurse yesterday and she said to rest and drink more water, which I did.  They got a little better but I'm still having them today.  It's going to be a long pregnancy if this keeps happening for 14 more weeks...

    I really only get mine when I walk around a lot.  My entire abdomen gets ROCK hard. It's so uncomfortable. I want to walk my neighborhood but I also don't want to have my abdomen get all uncomfortable. I know how you feel.

    I'm with you - just in the past couple of days.  They're very uncomfortable, though I guess for me at least they aren't painful.  Weird distinction to make.

    I know exactly what you mean. I have had them since abt 18wks and they just come and go whenever no specific rhyme or reason. Alot more as the weeks go bye so yes its going to be a long rest of the way. My doc told me that if I am having more that 4 an hour that they will need to see me. So maybe keep track of yours and see how often you are gettting them.

    Well I just talked to a nurse again and they are having me come into the office for a quick NST (?) test which I guess makes sure you aren't having real contractions. I feel like I'm over-reacting but I guess it's better to do that than to not react at all!

    Huh - I also get tightening when I stand up - especially from the couch, but didn't think anything of it. Thats BH?

    But keep us posted...

    I had 10+/hour, all day, every day, during my entire pregnancy with Lyla. Which was laughable, since the books/doctors told you to call anytime you had more than 6/hour. They were very regular, too... every 3 mins when I was hospitalized for monitoring at 24 weeks. It was scary and uncomfortable, but fortunately harmless in the end. I did do a lot of walking (lived in the city and didn't drive), which didn't help, but my OB said bedrest is more of a CYA thing for doctors, so didn't prescribe it. When I did go into labor, those contrax felt drastically different... more of a deep, burning cramp that literally brought me to my knees.

    This time, I'm having much less... around 2-4/hour on average. I'm chasing around a toddler this time, though, so I'm actually surprised I'm not feeling more. But I'm not nearly as stressed about it, after carrying Lyla until 39 weeks.

    I thought I was having BH last monday with severe cramping.  My OB sent me to the hospital only to find out I was actually having real contractions.  I was told at this point I just need to take it easy and put my feet up as much as possible.  I hope it was just a freak thing and the next 18+ weeks arnt like this.
