When to worry over Braxton Hicks? Any personal stories welcomed

Question

I’ve been having Braxton Hicks since about 20 weeks pregnant. They aren’t painful just comfortable. But they do come often mostly in the evening sometimes I know it’s because of being on my feet all. I do have to mention I hydrate a lot. Just wondering when I should worry? This is my second and with my first Braxton Hicks did not start until well into my my second trimester I would say about 33 weeks.

Answer

I was told 8 or more in an hour to call. And with our 3rd son they sent me in to l&d at 26 weeks for this and I was in fact dilating and having inconsistent contractions with my braxton hicks. If you're ever concerned about anything call the doctor/on call/triage line. It's better to be safe and call. That's what they are there for 💗

Answer

I’m on my second baby and I’ve been getting BH since about 18 weeks. I’d say it’s normal☺️

Answer

When Braxton Hicks turn into real contractions is really when you have to pay attention. They go from irregular to regular and steady. That is what happened with my last pregnancy.

Answer

My Braxton Hicks started at 16 weeks! It's normal. I'd only be concerned if they didn't ever stop.
