Braxton hicks?

Question

This is my second and I dont remember ever having Braxton hicks, if I did I didn't have them very often. Past week or so they've been happening quite often and sometimes hurt is this normal for them to hurt sometimes? I've tried changing positions but it doesn't matter if I'm stood, walking or lay down it still happens. 
Thanks in advance

Answer

I've had them since 20 weeks with my first and since 16 weeks with this little monkey. Sometimes they go so tight there painful.. but it's the frequency the doctors check more than pain. If you have more than 8 in a hour with intense pain then it could be preterm labour. If your only having a couple that don't last, and only sometimes hurt they can't do anything unfortunately 😢 trust me, I'm considered high risk already & always nagging my consultant!!

He said I needed to stay as hydrated as possible as this is a factor & rest up when I've been doing too much.. not much else I can say sorry hun.

But always follow your instincts, if you think somethings up go get checked just in case. There's no harm in asking 😘😘

Answer

I have them often too! Sometimes 5 or more a day. This is my 6th baby and I don't remember them either! I'm sure I had some, but not like this!

Answer

This is my second pregnancy and I've been feeling braxton hicks since around 24-25 weeks. In my first pregnancy I didn't feel any! None of them have been painful but I've had more than the recommended amount in an hour/day a couple of times. But I think that was because it was a hot day and I did a long walk in the morning.
