How to know when to ease up during pregnancy?

Question

I had twins at 31 weeks gestation 3 years ago and now I am 25w4d pregnant and getting Braxton Hicks and always scared. But I have twins and I’m running around after them, cleaning my house daily, and cooking daily and I’m wondering how I can be sure when it’s time for me to stop doing all of that and ease up a bit. Is the Braxton Hicks a sign to cool it?

Answer

It can be. Of you ha e a lot it can be your body's way of telling you to relax a bit more or maybe get more water. But they are completely normal. It's just if you have a lot or they get more painful. BH aren't supposed to be painful! 😊

Answer

Braxton Hicks aren't anything to be concerned about. I get heaps of them after working a long shift and I'm also running around after a toddler. I'm 24 weeks, no issues! I'd only be concerned if you're having actual contractions or there's blood.

Answer

It’s not. I had Braxton Hicks since 16 weeks and I was working moving patients around in beds and stretchers in the hospital. But I would ask your doctor if your unsure :)

Answer

No those are normal. You'd get them regardless of whether or not you ease up. It's practice for your body before the big show.
