hi agreed with other drink lots of fluid I got bh early too, and Im still here at 38 weeks pregnant, I see my doctor everyweek and i still dont have any thinning or dialtion, I get bh all the time now and they are really powerful, I would drink lots of water and rest
I started having BH around 21 weeks or so.. I cant recall now but I remember it being very early and was freaked out by it... I had them every couple hours until 26 weeks or so then they went away.. . I would have like 1-2 a day then....
I would drink lots of water and spend some day laying down on your left side...
My BH contractions just started coming back a couple days ago and I am 30 weeks now.. I dont time mine, I just kind of count them and I get a couple in a row in a short period then I start to monitor them closely.. i have yet to have more than 3 in an hour and that was back when I was around 24 weeks..
It feels weird when they start so early...
Exercise won't help bh go away and in most cases can cause you to have more. Drinking lots of water, making sure your bladder is empty and getting off your feet can help. It's normal to have bh your entire pregnancy, but not normal if they start to develop a regular pattern. The rule of thumb is no more than 4 or 5 an hour. At that point you would need to call your dr or the oncall nurse and speak with them.
More than 4 or 5 in an hour or spotting/cramping are all reasons to call your dr right away.
