BH contractions - only 4 an hour?!?!? I BLOODLY WELL WISH!!!
I have had them for 4 hours straight and intense back spasms with them to the point that it catches my breath. They started to appear at 27 weeks, even went to the hospital thinking I was in preterm labour, as based on the books - but nope... Braxton Hicks they told me. And they have not gotten any better. Just more intense.
I was advised by the L&D at the hospital... and it has so far worked... that when they hit, to drink a bottle of cold water (2 glasses) and lay down on my left side. They usually subside. If they don't subside to go to the hospital to be assessed.
If you are not bleeding, water is still intact, you haven't lost your mucus plug, baby is not engaged, not vommitting, etc... you are probably having BH or false labour. But as stated above, if they don't go away after drinking water, definitely go get assessed, just to be on the safe side.
Good luck ladies :>
