Braxton hicks sign of labor?

Question

So I'm 35 weeks and I've been getting Braxton hicks literally all day. They are painful but not excruciating and they aren't coming regularly so I haven't gotten concerned but it's been ALLLL DAYYY. And it's annoying and sometimes takes my breath away. Just wondering if this sudden increase in them means maybe I'm going into labor soon? I've been perfectly hydrated and everything..

Answer

I have been having them come on strong and semi painful for 2 weeks. Went to the hospital two days ago and not in labor. So not necessarily a sign of labor unfortunately. Just keep timing them and rest if you can

Answer

it's possible. but if eating/drinking/changing positions stops/eases them, then no probably not.

if you're concerned call your OB. drink plenty of water. dehydration can also make braxton hicks worse. make sure you're eating well also. :)
