Braxton hicks?!?!?!

Question

I've had the flu since 6am. I've been having tightening of the stomach every 5-7 minutes for the last hour and a half. 2nd child. Plus keep getting sharp pains in pelvic area! What should i do?

Answer

Dehydration is the number cause of frequent Braxton Hicks. Drink a cups of water every 15min for the next hour. Even though you have the flu take a quick warm shower and two Tylenol. If it doesn’t stop them call your doc again. But If you have the flu then its likely to cause your body to work extra hard to fight the virus leaving you dehydrated

Answer

Drink more. And if they aee constant, time them and call the doc.

Answer

I'm not an expert but this seems like real labor. Have they stopped?

Answer

Are you feverish or throwing up? If you can’t hydrate go to ER and let them help. Contractions can be brought on from dehydration

Answer

I would put a call into the Dr but you are most likely dehydrated.
