How often do you get braxton hicks?

[Belle25]

Just wondering how often you get braxton hicks?
I get them around 4 times a day the past couple of days and each time they last around half an hour...but I never had a single one with dd!

I dont think I've had any yet.... unless they're so minor I dont feel them?!x

I've been getting them off and on all day since about 22 weeks. They haven't ever been painful-just uncomfortable. And now that little face has changed positions I've been getting them more and more-he keeps pushing and is very very active.

5-10 every hour

I've been told I have an irritable womb!

Whenever I wear maternity trousers with the belly band up and walk distances - can go on for 15-20 minutes.

I've now found out that car journeys start them off. Traveled 40 miles yesterday to my mums and it felt like I had 2 knees in both sides of my back and pins in my lower bump. Wasn't intense pain, mainly uncomfortable.

I haven't noticed very many... like in the beginning I got them after orgasm and now I barely started noticing them again and it started out once every 3 days or so and now it's like 2 a day maybe.

Not had any this pregnancy and none last pregnancy either

every half hour to an hour i'd say, but when i'm walking sometimes they're continuous xx

Pretty much getting 3 at least an hour for the past 2-3 weeks. I also had them frequently leading up to labor with my first and second pregnancies.

In the past couple of weeks they have been increasing alot! It varies by day too, like today I have been feeling them all day long but other days I might get like 1 per hour or so...They are becoming more intense as the days go by though

 

[soph77]

I have them ALL the time. I started noticing them around 16 weeks, a few a day, but now I'll have at least 20 a day. They do not hurt but can be uncomfortable. Anything can set them off - walking, sitting, rolling over, housework...

At least once a day. Think i have most at night after i go for a wee! Only had two painful ones, one yesterday and the other day before - i think i over did it a bit though

I just realized what these felt like the other day... or else I've just never had them till then? LOL. But I got a BUNCH in one night... then a few the next day, and don't think I've had any today? Guess my body is already practicing... even though I'm going in for a scheduled c-section... sometimes I wish my body just KNEW that! lol. Would save me some aches and pains
