Could having constant braxton hicks mean early labor?

Question

I have 10-20 braxton hicks contactions a day or more! I'm just wondering if this means that my baby will come a couple of weeks early or on time? I dont want him to come too early, but I'm not really concerned about that. Has anyone else had this happen and gone into labor before their due date? I'm in no rush. I'll be bringing this up to my midwife on Wednesday, just wanted to hear some personal opinions from you ladies.

Answer

This has been my
Life for the last 5 weeks of my Pregnancy. So I would say no 😿

Answer

If they start to regulate and get more painful with each, that could be a sign of labor, if you're too concerned, call your doctor! But if they are irregular and consistent in pain, you're probably fine!

Answer

Make sure your drinking plenty of water I had a mass of braxton hicks contractions and called my Dr they told me to come to the hospital and tested me for preterm labor which came back negative but they told me I was dehydrated which I didn't feel like at all but it happens!

Answer

You can have Braxton hicks every day but as long as there aren't consistent they do not mean labor ... I actually didn't feel my labor pains till more than halfway through . My water broke and when I got to the hospital I was having contractions 2-3 minutes apart that were very noticeable on the chart but I couldn't feel a thing which they thought was odd

Answer

I'm 38w5d and have been having moderate to excessive Braxton Hicks since early this trimester. They are often painful and can keep me up at night, but no labor, lol.
