Constant braxton hicks?

Question

Is anyone else experiencing constant Braxton hicks? I had them occasionally with my first pregnancy but this time they are constant. I get them every few minutes all day and night. There driving me crazy, it's so uncomfortable and my stomach goes so rock hard it makes it hard to breathe. I drink loads of water but I do have a 10 month old so I can't really slow down or relax like everyone suggests. Anyone else going through this and have any other solutions? Don't want this to continue for another 10 weeks 😩

Answer

Try a gentle prenatal yoga routine.  Get your 10 month old involved if possible.  I've always involved my baby in my pre & postnatal yoga sessions, they really love the interaction with you. 
Good luck!

Answer

I am 32 weeks and have had them my entire pregnancy constant. I also have a 2 year old and it's not easy to relax. It's very hard to breathe and I have to drink a gallon of water a day or they will be worse. The only way they go away for me is if I'm laying down, which I only do at night. The best advice I can give is to push though them and since your so close, ask for help with the little one from a friend or family member so you can rest. Resting seems to be the only way they ease up. Keep drinking tons of water. If they get too unbearable I'd talk to your dr. I know mine get worse and worse the farther along I get and now I can only stand and walk around for a hour at a time or it's too painful. Good luck mama!

Answer

I wish I had some sort of advice but this is my first pregnancy and I barely have them. When I do they just feel uncomfortable. If I sit or switch positions they go away. Maybe ask your doctor different work outs or tips to do when they are occurring.

Answer

I can't tell if I'm having them. What should I be expecting to feel? Sometimes it feels tight for a while. Is that it?

Answer

I could tell by touching my belly. Usually it feels very firm but soft, but during a Braxton Hicks contraction it feels like a rock. The muscles go extremely tight and hard. I have been having them quite frequently since week 15 and I'm 33 weeks now. I stay super hydrated as I've heard that can help, but I still get them all the time. I have had zero complications with my pregnancy and I usually just push through them as best I can. I have such a hard time sleeping and breathing with them now though.
