I'm24 + 5 days pregnant, I walk around 6/7 thousand steps a day. I swim 2-3 times a week. I eat healthy. I also get LOTS of braxton hicks. Last couple of days I've had about 6 an hour. And they're pretty painful. Anyway, I thought better run it by the midwife just to be safe. Ended up in day assessment at the hospital - thought perhaps I have an uti. I don't - the doctor told me I need to excercise and take paracetamol. My braxton hicks are avoidable by taking pain killers. I explained walk and swim planty and I don't take meds unless I really have to so I hadn't yet. It's not killing me you know? So moral of the story - excercise more??
