Braxton Hicks already?

Question

I can’t remember if it’s too early for this or not?! I’ve been working extra hard lately at a very demanding and stressful job and have been having Braxton Hicks through my shifts for the last few. Obviously I’m trying to take it as easy as I can and stay hydrated. Is it too early? Am I alone in this?

Answer

I talked to my doctor about this and she said not only do I need to stay hydrated but I have to start adding in electrolytes too

Answer

I've been having them since maybe 15 weeks and it really scared me, but I looked it up and apparently it's normal to have them starting around then. With a first baby you might not notice them (I know I didn't until my 3rd trimester), but with subsequent pregnancies your body will start to recognize them sooner. Of course talk to your doctor/midwife if you're worried, but you're definitely not alone 💕

Answer

Started with them during 15/16 weeks both this time and with my last child. These have definitely been more uncomfortable but I’m assuming that is cause I’m carrying twins this time. Mine are definitely cause I forget to drink enough water.

Answer

I started having them around 15/16 weeks. Just take it as easy as you can and hydrate as much as you can! :)
