Constant Braxton Hicks?

Question

I’m 36 weeks today and my belly has stayed really hard and tight with slight cramping for the past 5 minutes. It’ll let up for a minute or two and then start again and last for another 5 minutes😅. This has been going on for an hour now. Is this normal? I’m a first time mom so every little thing scares me, sorry if this is a dumb question!!

Answer

I’ve had BH for a couple months now. They’re more consistent the past few weeks (I’m 36 weeks) but nothing to get excited over. I’ve never timed them, even when I have a lot. Sometimes they are super uncomfortable. This is my 4th and I’m used to it I guess. I’ve never gone early, so unless I have immense pain or my water breaks, I’ll just put up with it. If you drink water and rest, left side and maybe a heating pad you should get some relief. If you don’t, they could be real contractions.
