Answer

Braxton hicks.... ugh they get annoying. My last pregnancy I had them from 20 weeks until delivery and sadly they just get more annoying and worse. I drank water like crazy hoping it would help but just made me bloat into a balloon, sadly. I thought I wouldn't be able to tell when labor actually started because I had them so often at the end..... but trust me you will know lol.
