Bh contractions tend to start getting more painful towards the end of pregnancy. As long as they arent consistant and are less than 6 an hour you should be good! Congrats on your pregnancy!

BH will go away typically if you change activites, or drink a large glass of cold water. If you're getting more than 4 contractions an hour you need to speak to your doctor about it. It's normal
to have cramping pain as your pregnancy progresses though.
