Braxton hicks everyday?

Question

I'm 21 weeks with baby #5 and I am getting braxton hicks contractions everyday, off and on all day.
Not painful but uncomfortable, I wasn't worried until my mom said that getting them everyday isn't normal, and I dont remember getting them this often with my others.
Mentioned it to my doc last week and she said " its just round ligament pain, drink water" made me so mad because I know the f-ing difference between braxton Hicks and round ligament pain.
Does anyone else get them this often?

Answer

I'm actually at the dr office due to This, even though I think they're contractions since they've been going for so long

Answer

I get BH everyday. Some days more than others. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's just your uterus doing practice contagions

Answer

My midwife told me the more u kids u have the more frequent BH can come and can be a bit painful for some ladies too. I'm on baby no.4 and I get them ALOT lol xx

Answer

I'm on my 6th and never have Braxton hicks.  I drink 1 to 1 and half gallons of water daily

Answer

I was getting them everyday from around that time, maybe a bit later, but this is my first, so you could be getting them a bit earlier.

Answer

I've heard that you experience them more with each child. Maybe since you're on #5 that's why you're getting them a lot? I'm not sure exactly how true that is. I'm on my first and I have been having at least one a day since about 20 weeks too.

Answer

I mentioned the same to my doctor and she told me she wasn't surprised.  She told me only to worry if it's 6 in an hour.  She said if I get to 3 in a half hour to empty my bladder, drink a glass of water and lay down.  If they don't go away then, I am to call.  I have noticed it's always when my bladder is full, and they are much more noticeable then with my first.

Answer

It can be normal. Are you drinking a gallon of water daily? If not you are likely getting them  due to dehydration
