Question

I am 25 weeks. And been having Braxton Hicks since 19 weeks. Not just 1 or 2, but every time I move, none stop in a vehicle and with some I am feeling pressure. So much pressure I actually tinkle sometimes. But for sure vaginal pressure. My dr appointment is tomorrow. But I just wanted to check with you other moms!

Answer

I had them every two minutes-ish for about 2 hours last night. I didn't feel like peeing all night long though so I didn't increase my water intake and they just went away after I fell asleep..I had them (painful and frequent) with my first pregnancy so I don't really think much of it. I'm 26 weeks. This is about the time they started last time. I had them start earlier this time but not painful and not frequent. Last time was only the second time I've had pressure and pain from it this pregnancy. Of course talk to your doctor but they're likely just going to tell you to increase your water intake (they didn't seem to care how much I was drinking, they would tell me to increase it anyway because it "obviously isn't enough"), lay down on left side, take a warm shower or bath, and take Benadryl or Tylenol if the pain is too bad.

Answer

I get them! Yesterday when I went swimming I was getting them every couple of minutes for like 2 hours.

Answer

I have a really hard time if I don’t drink enough water. I’ve mentioned it to my doctor and he said to make sure I’m hydrated, my bladder is empty and to rest. If with rest they don’t go away in 30 minutes. He wants me to call and will probably have me come in just to check. Definitely talk to your doctor about it and even though your appointment is tomorrow, I’d call today and let them know what’s going on.

Answer

I get them a lot when I haven’t been drinking enough water. Even when I drink a lot of water I’ll still get several a day. I think having some is normal just watch for them getting stronger or in regular intervals.
