Anyone else feeling Braxton hicks multiple times a day?

Question

I feel like it's really early (27 weeks on Saturday) to be feeling what we assume is Braxton Hicks several times a day (more than she can count). I didn't have any until the last few weeks and they weren't super noticable. Hers seem like they take the wind out if her sometimes. Any one else experience it? Is it nothing to worry about? I'm probably just overly nervous. lol.

Answer

Make sure you’re resting, and drinking a lot of water. I get them if I’m dehydrated or working too hard at work (my job is physical)

Answer

I’m 26 weeks and have been getting them for a few weeks now. I have probably 5-10 a day depending. But they are just a quick tightening for a minute and then they release. They don’t hurt and take my breath away, just uncomfortable. I’ve been wondering myself how many is a normal amount. I don’t know if this helps? I’m a FTM so I don’t know what’s normal.

Answer

I had painful Braxton hocks with my first at about 32 weeks. I went to the hospital and was told that I was dehydrated. I didn't experience them again after that. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids and take it easy.

Answer

This past weekend I started getting them as well. This has been a very painful pregnancy for me which I believe has to do with me having fibromyalgia as well. I've had to go the hospital a few times because I have horrible cramping. This past weekend has been really rough and ended up going to the hospital because the cramping got worse. Was having really bad lower back pain and had been having contractions. Some we're very painful and I couldn't even talk through them. At times they were 5 minutes apart so I really was scared. But when I went to the hospital late Sunday night they were able to pick up a few contractions which I was actually happy about in a way cause it let me know I wasn't just imagining them. But they checked me and I wasn't dilated and my cervix was still thick so I was able to go home. But I agree....i felt like it seems a little early to be having Braxton Hicks.
