Are you having Braxton Hicks more often if you’re past 25 weeks?

Question

My belly has been so hard up above my belly button almost all day! I am 27 +3. I thought baby was just balled up. But after doing some research it seems it could be contractions.

Answer

Something I learned was the a full bladder triggers them! Since we have to drink so much water, it’s really a never ending cycle 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

Mine started at 18 weeks, just turned 25 weeks today and they are continuing to happen every other day.

Answer

I had them once and it actually hurt but it was because I was dehydrated. I have been drinking a lot of water and havent had the problem again. 26+1

Answer

Have you rested (sit or laying down), drank water, etc?
If it isn’t stopping you may want to check in with your OBGYN. 
With my first they said to give them a call if me relaxing and hydrating didn’t stop it. 
I hope you feel better soon!

Answer

Same!! I’m 28 weeks and sometimes it gets so bad. Definitely happening every day. Trying to stay hydrated. It’s supposed to help? 🤷🏼‍♀️
