Ugh I had Braxton hicks last night(or what I think was Braxton hicks), they were in my back though…

my doctor said BH are not supposed to hurt just feel uncomfortable. have you tried to do anything to ease the pain and keep track of how many your having in an hour?

usually Braxton hicks don't hurt. its just when your belly gets really tight for like 30 seconds or so... that doesn't sound like bh to me. might be some real contractions keep an eye on it and if it gets worse I'd call your doctor

Those could be real contractions. don't worry, early labor can start many weeks before you go into actual labor. just make sure you let your doctor know, they will be able to tell you if they are real contractions or just braxton hicks.

Just laying down, I havnt tried anything else though. It's like it's a dull pain like what it feels like before or during your period and then every few minutes or so the pain will increase by a lot, this is my second baby but I never had them with my first or contractions of any kind that I felt

@tecia1,

@mdomke22, @maybabyboy im going to keep an eye on them.. They are pretty close but it seems they ease up when I walk around. How soon before can early labor start? I'm only 24 weeks

try a warm bath and or a heating pad. I've had lots of off and on contractions with my 1st and with this one too. also drink a whole bunch of water. i try drinking a jug by 1pm and that has helped a lot with the BH

if they don't stop by the afternoon I would call your doctor. they can come and go when your early but to be so frequent is what is a little concerning.

If you have 10 in an hour (some docs say 6) you should go in. it really doesn't sound like BHC. Listen to your body

I'm going to drink a lot of water and take it easy to see if they go away if not im going to head to the doctor once my hubby gets home just to make sure everything's okay @tecia1 @mdomke22

bh should ease I'd you drink water and lay down or take a bath. real contractions won't ease no matter what you do. if they are close together that's another sign they could be real. I had contractions off and on from 20 weeks, and delivered at 36, so you may be ok. but they are frequent, so it could be a good idea to call your doctor and just ask, that's what they are there for. and we are going into the weekend, so you will want to ask today instead of worrying about going into the hospital this weekend.

i hope everything is ok. and drinking the water helps. good luck momma

I drank a glass of water and they have almost gone away @tecia1 @mdomke22 @maybabyboy @kisha @cubanese

awesome! maybe up your daily intake of water and see if they don't come back.

Well they have still been happening, I've been drinking water all morning and it hasn't helped, walking around, ice pack nothing's helped. They only happen like every 30 minutes and then Last several minutes, im going to call my mother in law to take me in to the doctors to see what's up @cubanese @kisha @maybabyboy @mdomke22 @tecia1

Thankyou! @cubanese
