Please Help
I'm 33 weeks pregnant, & I was taking a shower my stomach kept getting hard. I think those were braxton hicks, but is it bad even though you keep getting them & your still standing. I was standing because I was taking a shower. I couldn't really take a good shower because my stomach kept getting hard.
If they go away when you sit or relax and stuff then they're braxton hicks but I had braxton hicks for 5 hours straight and a couple mins apart and had to go to labor and delivery cuz sometimes you could have an infection or something its not always preterm labor but if they last long or become regular even if there is no pain you should get it checked out!
thats exzactly how i use to explain it to my fiance like my vagina is gonna fall out lol its most likely just how the baby is positioned and i would just relax the rest of the night if they get worse then go to hospital hope u feel better hun
Idk if it's braxton hicks or just my baby putting alot of pressure. When it happens while I'm walking it feels like my vagina is going to fall out lol very uncomfortable
*didn't sit right away
But if I stand, or walk to the kitchen I'll get them
No I was mostly sitting down all day, but everytime I walk or when I was getting ready to take a shower & when I was taking a shower I kept getting them. What does it mean when their close together or you get them alot? Is it like preterm labor or what? Is it bad that I was getting them & did sit right away. When I got out the shower I layed down & it kinda went away.
& drink water like she said too
im 35 weeks and ive had braxton hicks brfore, if u lay down for a little while they should go away..if they start to get stronger and more closer together and start lasting longer thats when u want to go to the er or call ur OB. did you work or were u on ur feet alot today? usually thats what causes them, i was at work on my feet most of the day when i got mine went to the er cause i was worried and as soon as i laid down they went away
You should lay down and relax and drink some water and if you have more than 5 in n hour to call your doctor or if they become regular or strong.
