How often do you get braxton hicks?

Babycakes29 · December 2011

I was going to make a poll out of this but the answers could be so varying, I decided not. I'm curious how often people get BH in a day? Obviously, u probably don't have a tally sheet keeping track of each one. But overall, how noticeable are they to you on a daily basis???

even with the pills im on im getting them at least every two hrs or less, some stronger then others.

i'm not sure i've ever had them. sometimes i get a tightening, but i think she's jusr curled up in a ball or something.

I get them anywhere from 4 to 10 times a day, it varies depending on my activity and water intake.

I don't think I have gotten any yet. The other day I had a bad cramp, but it was in a localized area andy entire stomach wasn't tight, so I think she was just laying in a weird position.

In the evenings every 5-10 minutes. During the day it varies, sometimes several an hour, sometimes none for a few hours. I had them check my cervix last week to make sure they're just BH and not PTL. All is good, but they're annoying as hell.

I'm not sure I could even tell... my stomach is hard as a rock and tight almost 24/7 let's just say he is making the most of every inch of available space and is doing his best to add on an extension LOL.

I think typing about them/thinking about them called them out. Every time I stand up now

Sometimes I don't get them at all and some times I get them frequently throughout the day. I've found that on my days off I get them less than days I'm working. I haven't had one in a few days.

frequently throughout the day. I get them if I laugh too hard, if my bladder is full, if the boys are incredibly active, etc. etc. They are incredibly obnoxious.

ha! See that's how often I get them... everytime I stand up. I had been ignoring the frequency of them until I found out that regardless of whether they hurt or not, if you are getting them too often its not good. I honestly just thought as long as they don't hurt really bad then I don't have to worry about it. Yeah, found out after a little trip to L&D that I was totally wrong!

I don't think I have had any yet...does everyone get them?

Depends on the day, and I honestly can't figure out a rhyme or reason to it. Except whenever my bladder is getting full or right after I empty it. Yesterday I was getting them frequently and I was relaxing for the most part.

I usually get a few at night and in the early morning. Maybe a few during the day if I'm not drinking enough water. Had them every 3 min when I had a UTI but meds stopped that thankfully!! I tend to not even notice them anymore unless I'm sitting very still.
