Braxton hicks or contractions?

Question

So for the passed couple of days I have been having what I believe is Braxton hicks. I have had really light ones until recently, an these ones are quite heavy.... It feels like Charlie horse in my upper stomach. I only get them when siting on the toilet or sitting up really straight!! I'm getting anxious as I've had preterm labor befor an I'm taking progesterone shots. Baby is 32+5 today, but three days ago was measuring 3 weeks ahead (so he would be measuring close to 37 weeks now) in really worried and I don't want a Christmas baby :( is there anything I can do about contractions in the bathroom?

Answer

I've been having bh for about 14 weeks & was even put in the hospital for them. However i was having them every couple minutes so if it's just when you use the restroom i would ask the Dr. I always get them when i have to go pee, or #2, or even if I have gas. I still get them all day.

Answer

They went away but reappear whenever I use the bathroom.... I'm thinking bh .... I'll ask at my appt if they get stronger or timeable between bathroom uses

Answer
