Strong Braxton Hicks=Faster Labor???

Question

Although this is my fourth pregnancy... every pregnancy is different but what are your thoughts?
Just like the other pregnancies I've been having very strong intense Braxton Hicks. With my first two kids they were born 10 days early and I labored for no more than 3 hours. With my third he was 3 days late but he came so fast I was unable to get an epidural or any pain meds! Just curious to know who else is miserable because of Mr. Braxton keeping them up all night? And if this isn't your first child how was your previous labor/delivery?

Answer

My first I didn't have any braxton Hicks I was 15 days early and I was in labor from water breaking to birth 9 hours. This time I've been have pretty intense bh since probably 28-30 weeks and they seem to be getting worse. I hope you're right!

Answer

My first was a week late my second was a week late and got induce and my third my dr thinks he's going to come early 5 weeks to go

Answer

I sure hope that's a positive of BH! I get them very frequently and they're getting stronger these days (34.3 weeks).

Answer

My first was 10days late, long labour and ended with c-section, had bh at the end with him. My second came 3 wks early, 2 hr vbac, no pain meds cos too quick. Didnt have any bh for the entire pregnancy. This one started bh at 17wks. Not sure how it's going to go really.

Answer

With my first son he came a day before his due date I was in labor for 19 hours with him. My 2nd son everything happened so fast was in labor for about 6 hours before I ended up having to get a c-section due to his heart rate dropping. This time around (3rd pregnancy) I've been having a lot of braxton hicks, a lot of pelvic pressure just real uncomfortable!
