BH when bladder is full?

mrsjengle · February 2012

For those of you who experience Braxton Hicks do you noticed that it happens more often when you have a full bladder?

WHen I have to pee, when I'm peeing, when I've just finished peeing...yep!

Yes. My OB said the most common times to have BH are when your bladder is full, your bowels are full, or you've been walking a lot.

This. Whenever I was discharged from L&D I was always told to empty my bladder when I was having contractions to make sure they weren't BH.

Yes. If I hold it too long I get BH with cramps and they are horrible. And now a lot of the time I get BH that make me feel like I need to have a bowel movement with them...ah the joys of pregnancy lol

The few I've had thus far in this pregnancy have fit this bill!

I have read a full bladder causes BH. Pee lady!

The question now is more like, when DON'T I get BH? Having to pee will do it, but so will like a million other things--standing up from a sitting position is the worst one since I can't really avoid ever sitting down between now and the birth.
