Is it normal for Braxton Hicks contractions to become more frequeent the further along you get? I get them more frequently, but still sporatically. Is this normal for 33weeks? TIA.

    Yes, it is normal. It is also a symptom of dehydration, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water.

    Very normal the farther along you are the more your body is practicing for birth.

    Yes its normal. With my first baby I didn't get them till the last 2 weeks and I think it only happened a couple of times. This time I started getting them at like 22 weeks and I do have them alot. Days when I get a ton I noticed that I haven't been keeping myself hydrated so there is some truth to that. Drink up, it might help though I happens anyway... it just might  help cut down on them :)

    Totally normal. And for some people, like me, they can seem almost constant. Of course, I would advise you to still follow the "guidelines" and consult a physician ASAP if you're having more than four an hour, but just so you know, for some of us, you can have around 20 or more an hour.
