Are constant braxton hicks a sign of preterm labor?

Question

I’m only 27w5d and for the last at least 3 days I’ve had constant little contractions and overall cramping that has lasted all day. I’m starting to get worried that it’s not stopping.. I go to the doctor on Thursday but I was wondering what you guys think.

Answer

You should call the doctor or hospital ASAP. If you’ve been cramping non stop all day without relief, that’s not normal. Don’t take the chance by waiting until Thursday, call now

Answer

Been having Braxton Hicks since 27 or so weeks and I’m 33 now. She told me with the Braxton Hicks or my cramping to not worry unless I’m bleeding, they’re overly painful, or I have an odor to my discharge. If I can’t start timing them and they fall in the 511 rule and become painful then to call or go in.

Answer

Could be normal, it happened to me but it would be way safer to talk to your provider ASAP and be evaluated, especially at under 30 weeks gestation. Go get checked!

Answer

I’ve been having constant Braxton Hicks since about 20 weeks (I’m 37 now) and it’s been nothing. I can have them every three mins apart for half the day and the doctor said not to worry. If you are experiencing pain with them tho then you need to call your doc
