Contractions? Braxtons Hicks?

Question

For over 24 hours i have had constant contractions or Braxton Hicks. How do you know the difference and how do you know when you should get checked out? I’m 29 weeks Wednesday and i don’t want to go in if it’s nothing.

Answer

this is what my doctor told me about Braxton Hicks 
• hydrate 
• lay down 
• try going to the bathroom (pee) and try pooping if you haven’t gone in a while 
• more than 4 in an hour, call and talk to a nurse but they will more than likely want to monitor 
I had 3 BH back to back to back and it really freaked me out, I ended up going into my office and being on the monitor and I had 2 little contractions but my doctor wasn’t concerned. since then I’ve felt perfectly fine but better safe than sorry for real even if you feel iffy about it please call I’m sure you’ll feel much better

Answer

I was just admitted to labor and delivery overnight this last week for “Braxton Hicks”. I was contracting every three minutes. Go get it checked out. If you see them coming consistently more than four in an hour go. Better safe than sorry especially with our babies being so tiny still! Ps my contractions felt  SO mild but were definitely contractions. Doesn’t need to be painful to go. That’s how preterm labor starts. Mild period like contractions.

Answer

My ob and mfm doctor told me to follow the 5-1-1 rule. If you have more than five that last a minute each in one hour, to go in to l&d and have them check up on things. But other than that said I should hydrate, put my feet up and just relax for a little, even suggested to take a 10-15 minute warm bath.

Answer

My first daughter born 2016 tried coming early but i didn’t know i was having contractions i was just in for fluids. Now i know what they feel like and these have been constant but not painful and for over 24 hours.
