Is it normal to have braxton hicks so frequent?

[louise85]

I get them several times at least sometimes within a few minutes of each other.

They're not painful but I can feel my stomach going rock solid! This is my 2nd baby.

Anyone else have them so often?

Completley normal i get them 24/7...hospital told me they are a lot worse if you have a full bladder or are dehydrated... xxxx

I go through patterns, where Ill get them 3 min apart lasting 40 sec, and mine are painfull but,.. they aren't doing any changes to my cervix other then thinning out and my dr isnt concerned. Just a major annoyance.

I started getting mine at 26 weeks, now close to 28. I get 4 or 5 a day. I never noticed them with my other pregnancies!

I told the OB today and they said they are completely normal.

Yep it's normal. It's annoying though.

Yep it is! Last week I had them three days in a row and they kept on for some time.

with ellis i took braxton hicks constantly before i was even 24 weeks, even through the night. used to come on at most horriblest of moments too. uncomfortable and sometimes annoying, but completely normal..

Mine have just started and im 26 weeks with #2
Everything happens alot sooner the 2nd and 3rd ect time around.

Normal - I get them everyday without fail. This is baby #2 and I find them to be more painful than my first, and more consistent. I am guaranteed that as soon as I sit down with my feet up after dinner to watch TV they will start up bad and come every few minutes for a couple hours. But I get them throughout the day here and there as well.

Thanks everyone!

I've been incredibly thirsty the last couple of days so maybe I'm dehydrated which isn't helping.

Hope I know when its the real thing

I had BH contractions every 5 minutes for an entire hour when I was 26 weeks, and my MW said it was totally normal
