Call OB?

Question

All day today I’ve had Braxton Hicks. Usually they are just 5-6 all day long. But these have been back to back all day long. I tracked them for an hour and there was 10 in one hour. So I drank a lot of water and decided to take a nap. I wake up and now I’ve got intense back pain and the Braxton Hicks started again. Should I call the OB or go in? Worried that their going to say it’s nothing 🥴

Answer

Yes I’d call

Answer

I’d definitely call and see what they say. 
Totally understand hating to go in and everything be fine, but it’s always a good thing when everything is okay! Better to be safe and double check, I know my OB would chew my butt out if I thought something was wrong and didn’t say anything, even if everything is okay.

Answer

Braxton Hicks shouldn't be painful. Just tightening. I would call for sure. I thought mine were just bh but they were getting more intense and closer together. I went in and was having real contractions!! It took 3 doses to get them to stop. Follow your gut. If its different let your doc know.

Answer

Call. Back pain and BH contractions can be a sign of early labor.
