Frequent Braxton Hicks?

[laceyinthesky]

I've been having quite a few BHs today but in the past half hour I've had 5! They aren't painful, just my uterus hardening, but I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal? Any advice appreciated. I'm 35+2, btw.

I get this and have done for a while now. Phases of very very regular bh. Not painful. I'm 38+1.

I had this last week when I was 35 weeks they was coming every 5 minutes from 9am-10pm then they stopped I think it's just body gearing up for labour unless there painful I wouldn't worry

Thanks, everyone! They went away for now, just started getting worried when it seemed they were coming every 5 minutes. I'm sure (I hope) I'll know when the real contractions start.

I get that a lot, sometimes every five minutes for hours then stop. Even get some painful ones low down but still no sign of madam arriving!

Drink lots of water, my midwife said being dehydrated can cause you to have them loads. xx

I am only 31 weeks and just a few days ago I noticed a few. It is normal to get 2 or 3 a day at this point?

Yes it's totally normal. My OBGYN always told me to drink water and put my legs up when I had them.
