excessive Braxton Hicks
I told my midwife at my 26w appointment I was getting 20-30 Braxton Hicks a day. She said as long as they weren’t super painful/intense, it was fine. I’m 29 weeks now.
Since about 4pm today (now 10pm) I’ve been having them consistently every 5-8 minutes.
I’ve drank a lot of water to try to make sure I’m hydrated and calm them, and have been laying down, but they’re not slowing.
I’m hesitant to go/call in because I had an irritable uterus with my previous pregnancies so this isn’t completely abnormal for me.
Should I try to sleep and see if they resolve?
Edit- my second was born at 35+5 so preterm labor does worry me a little. My water had broken with her though.
