Braxton Hicks
Not really a question....just need to complain. I'm getting really sick and tired of having these stupid contractions on and off all day! It seems like every time I stand up I have one - or at least everytime I have to pee I do...which is all the time! Doctor checked me yesterday and cervix is closed so they are just BH but still annoying. I don't remember having them this much with DD.
Anyone else having them?

If you aren't drinking enough water it can cause BH. You probably already know that tho. I get them off and on, but not too much. I have some days where I get more than others.
I probably am not drinking enough water, can always do more of that. I just seem to have to pee all the time, drinking more will make it worse! My doc says as long as they are not painful or more than 5 in an hour not to worry....so I'm not worrying, just annoyed! DD wants me to carry her and it seems like every time I do I get another contraction....not sure how I'm going to break it to her that I can't keep carrying her! I try to tell her she's hurting mommy, but she's not quite 2 yet, she doesn't understand. Ah...the joys!!
i get them pretty often too. my belly just feels tight when i touch it during the BH. i probably wouldnt even realize it if i didnt touch my belly when i think its happening. i told me doc ive been getting them and he said my cervix is long and closed so there is nothing to worry about then. i drink plenty of water but i still get then too, probably like 10 a day.
I get them sometimes as well. Mostly after I pee or after I wake up in the morning. I only drink water, and I drink it nonstop so I know that's not why I get mine.
I havent experienced these yet, however for some reason I want to feel them. I want to know what they feel like, I have been so curious, I am only 23 weeks however so I figure I still have time!
