Braxton hicks and working?

Question

Anyone else deal with BH while working all day?? I feel like any little thing I do brings them on (I'm drinking plenty of fluids). I had one this morning that wasn't painful but it did stop me in my tracks. I had to pause and hold onto the counter and take some deep breaths. I always feel like I get short of breath when I have them too. Is this normal?

Answer

I have to breathe through mine as well. My doc said if I have 4-6 within an hour go to L&D. Very normal, just your body preparing for the big day!

Answer

Mine knocked the wind out of me, I did short controlled breaths

Answer

Yep 👋 I've had them pretty consistently for the past couple months. I get like a wave of nausea with each of them, and shortness of breath until it passes. Uncomfortable for sure , but probably nothing compared to labor pains 😬😂

Answer

That's how my braxton hicks are too. They take my breath away and I usually get them when I'm active.

Answer

I'm short of breath too when I have them, and my heart races. I get them when I go from sitting to standing, bend to reach something low, or walk swiftly. Not painful yet but definitely more and more intense.

Answer

I do not know what Braxton Hicks are nor do I think I've felt any. I'm currently 32 weeks and 2 days. I am still working but like I said not sure if I've felt them.

Answer

I had one a couple of days ago that gave me pause. I had to stop and breathe through it. Does this in any way mean our babies will come before their due dates?

Answer

Yep - all the time. I'm a teacher and frequently have to tackle stairs. Braxton Hicks EVERY time I climb a set of stairs

Answer

Yes I'm working full time ! I'm having BH here and there and this cold I have isn't helping 😷😩

Answer

I still don't have an idea what a Braxton Hicks is or if it is happening to me 💁🏻
