How often should you have Braxton Hicks?

La

I’m 31+1 today & I went to hospital for my weekly ultrasound. They decided to do a CTG while I was in there, which are booked to be done weekly now.

They noticed I was having tightenings, they said they were only braxton hicks because I wasn’t feeling them. I’ve only had a little bit of a back ache.

They said I only need to come in if I start to feel them, I have another CTG booked for Thursday.

My question is, should I really be having this many? I thought they weren’t suppose to be a consistent thing? I didn’t have them with my first, however I did have back labour, so I’m getting a little nervous now!

(Ignore babies heartbeat, I have an anterior placenta which makes it hard for them to get a consistent reading).
