A.G.
My 3rd pregnancy involved TONS of Braxton Hicks contractions. My midwife always said to drink a large glass of water and sit in a long warm bath until they stopped. For a while that seemed to work if the contractions got annoying or tiring. But, they got more and more frequent as I got closer to the due date. Actually, for 48 hours before my true labor started, I had constant BH contractions at about 5 minutes apart (talk about tiring and annoying), then all of a sudden my water broke and the true contractions took over. Ironically, the day the constant BH contractions started, I had been delivering baby after baby by C-Section (I was a surgery nurse then) all day long. lol
I am pregnant again with my 4th pregnancy (30 weeks) and have had even more with this pregnancy. My midwife said they can become more frequent and stronger with each pregnancy, so I am looking for them to do the same (or more) than last time as I get closer to my due date. She said to call her if I have more than 4 in an hour BEFORE I become full term.......otherwise, just let them do their job once I am full term.
Happy birthing!
