Braxton Hicks

[winterbabies3]

In the last 30 mins I have experienced a handful of bh. Cramping in my lower abdomen and tightening at the top of my bump. Not really painful but there and noticeable. They seemed to have slowed down but that really concerned me. Is there a certain amount of bh that isn't okay?

I was told to call my midwife if I have more than 6 in an hour and each bh lasts around 40 seconds. Honestly they will ask you if you are hydrated and if you have tried resting and changing positions to see if that helps them stop.

Hope the bh slow down for you and you can relax.

Thanks! They have come to a stop so hopefully the gallon of water I drank did some good!!
