Contractions when laying down?

Question

I’m 39 weeks as of Saturday (8/10)...
For the last few days I’ve been getting painful contractions particularly when I lay down regardless of what angle, what pillows, how much water I’ve had... they seem to stop when I get up.
it doesn’t making sleeping exactly pleasant... and during the day my stomach seems to be constantly contracting and tight. I know that’s Braxton Hicks... 
Anything I can do short of having the baby to ease up the pains?

Answer

What did this end up being for you? I’m experiencing this now. 37+4

Answer

Can you sleep propped up or in a lazy boy? Just to get some rest. 
Ugh I’m getting more Braxton Hicks too. It’s uncomfortable!

Answer

I would assume if you went to Labor & Delivery, they would tell you to walk? Even though this seems to make them stop. Maybe if you try walking at a mall or park, where you can walk for a good amount of time, it could turn those Braxton Hicks into the real thing? With my second baby, I walked for at least 20 minutes to an hour or more, multiple times a day for about 2-3 days, because I was having Braxton Hicks and inconsistent contractions for a week.

Answer

Do they hurt and what's the pattern like?
