Bare with me...

Okay so now that I'm closer to my due date and I've already had to go to the hospital once for contractions, I'm kind of freaking out about when I will go into labor and if I will have an early labor. So all day today every time I get up and walk around my stomach tightens like I'm getting contractions and sometimes it hurts sometimes it's just uncomfortable. But it happens everytime I get up and I have contacted my doctor because it doesn't happen unless I get up and my doctor says the Braxton Hicks would start to get stronger and I don't think I should call unless it happens 4 times within a hour like she says.

So my question is, is this normal, I didn't think the braxton hicks would get this much stronger to when I get up and walk around I get a contraction.

A lot of people said they think i would go into preterm labor because I'm so skinny and so that's why now that I'm 32 weeks almost that I'm starting to freak out. My aunt also said that when she went into labor she thought she was having braxton hicks contractions because they didn't hurt just her stomach tightened and she ended up having labor.

So I'm just trying to be safe as possible and the fact that I've had to go to the hospital 4 times since I was first pregnant I'm trying to stay away from that unless I really need to go and if they get stronger pain wise or become closer together, I really don't think it's necessary to go to the hospital. Any feedback??

I got alot of BH, when i had real contractions they were painful and equal amount of time apart. I know everyones body is different tho
try not to stress yourself out, if you think the are real take a bath, lay down on your side and relax, if they keep happening then it might now be BH
