Braxton Hicks

For those of you feeling these, how often do you feel them? I just started feeling them last week and since then I get about 4 a night. Just feels like tightening in my lower uterus! Anyone else?

I'm a FTM and 26 weeks :

  • Multiples times a day throughout the day. I checked with my OB and she said unless you get 4+ in an hour they aren't anything to really worry about

  • I get them at least 4 times a day.  But we went on an Alcatraz tour last week and I WAY over did it.  I had them non-stop for a couple hours and had to go lay down.  I just need to take it easy or they start up like crazy.

  • I get them often-- especially at the end of the day (after working and/or keeping up with my 2 DDs) and often have them for a few hours through the night until I am able to lie down. I also get them when I exercise (cardio) but they stop as soon as I stop

  • I've had them daily with both of my pregnancies.  Maybe 3-5 times a day at the worst and somedays I don't seem to notice them.  If I'm too active or dehydrated they get kind of scary.  They are a good reminder to take it easy and rest more.
