For those who are experiencing Braxton Hicks...

how often in a day does it happen to you?  I get Braxton Hicks Contractions every day, several times a day, and have read that more than 4 an hour is cause for concern. 

Just wondering how often you other ladies deal with the contractions.

    I get several a day as well. I did with my 1st pregnancy too.

    I find that drinking more water helps.

    i probably have them on avg of 3-5x a day.

    i'm laying down on bedrest and drinking 80oz of water and still get them.  but my doc says this is totally normal.

    I get a few every day, but not usually close together.  They're always brought on by exercise or a lot of physical activity, such as walking across campus, and they usually go away pretty soon after I sit down and breathe.

    I get at least one every hour or two.  Sometimes I get a few in an hour, so I lie down and guzzle some water and they usually stop. 

    My doc has been doing cervix checks every 2 weeks because mine seem to come more frequently than the normal person, but then again I also have 2 babies and a big fibroid that together make my uterus more of the size of someone in the 3rd tri.

    First cervix check appointment is not until February 25.  I will just monitor until then.  Seems like some days are worse than others.
