Braxton hicks And kegels? 24w pregnant

Question

So I was doing my kegels yesterday for pretty much the first time, I know I should do them everyday. Anyways my belly started to tighten really tight like a basketball and then releasing happened a few times. Then again at home relaxing on my back and then later on my side. Freaked me out I didn't know that's what braxton hicks were. Called dr and he said not to worry, unless in a patern and more often. 
What I'm asking is when did u ladies get them...and what was it like...and how often....and have any of u get them after u do your kegels? 
Thanks ladies

Answer

Climbing up our stairs multiple times gives me Braxton hicks!

Answer

I've just started to get them one every hour or so, I'm at the tail end of 28 weeks. Make sure you're drinking a ton of water, dehydration can cause preterm labor. Walking around and peeing make mine feel better.

Answer

I just got them for the first time last night. It was after a long day of walking and a terrible fight with my hubby! Thankfully they only lasted 15 minutes or so. I read if you've been walking a lot, to have a rest and if you have been sitting a lot, to have a walk.

Answer

This happened to me at like 17 weeks. Have you been taking it easy and drinking a lot of water everyday? It has been know that when you have Braxton hicks contractions it's because you aren't drinking enough water or your over working your body too much.

Answer

I get Braxton Hicks after spending to much time on my feet, especially if I'm dehydrated. Water and an ok sized glass of black tea help mine a lot. Have since about week 17, atleast since then. Sometimes they happen after sex (sorry if that's tmi) but that's very common since orgasms cause  your uterus to contract.
