Braxton Hicks at the SAME TIME every night?

Question

I have Braxton Hicks every night. Usually (but not always) very shortly following my last meal of the day and I'm always lying or sitting when they begin. They're very intense (cone belly) and I normally get 4-6 in an hour and then they stop. My doctor couldn't explain it. Anyone have any idea why they'd start at the same time every night?

Answer

mine did the same for about a week - every day between 12-2pm I'd start getting them and they'd start getting worse and be roughly 15 minutes apart and beginning to get quite painful that I'd have to stop what I was doing and breath through it - but then stop and not bother me again till the same time the following day.  I asked midwife and she suggested that my body was probably starting to get dehydrated or need food at the time of day and that was what was causing them to begin, she then said if at any point I feel worried then call and they can tell me to come in or advise me but generally unless they continue to get stronger and become more frequent then I shouldn't worry - just drink plenty and make sure I've been eating regularly.  they've stopped doing it now so I don't know what it was - maybe it was also linked to his position at the time so I felt it more? I don't know lol

Answer

I just posted about this lol. I get a lot every light too when I’m finally laying down. I sleep on my side so I start getting them and oh boy are they annoying.
