worried!?

I'm 31w pregnant and for the past two weeks I have been having what I assumed was extremely painful to the point of me being in tears braxton hicks. They normally lasted about a minute long and where 2-3 mins apart. I normally had 3-4 in a row then they would stop. Then someone informed me that braxton hicks should not be painful or that close together! So the next time I had them I decided to go to l+d but I went a few hours after they stopped. She checked and I am not dilated and basically said that she didn't no y I was having them or why they where painful. Maybe the baby was just kicking my cervix. I just had them again and I can feel the baby move and he's not low so I cant see how he could be kicking my cervix. Should I be worried?

Drink water, and then drink more water. It is very very easy to become dehydrated while pregnant, especially if your drinking soda or coffee at all. Dehydration can cause painful contractions.

Ive been told bh can be painful. Ive read abt women bedridden throughout their pregnancy due to bh contractions. I wouldnt worry as long as they say baby is fine. Try talking to ur dr abt medicine for pain.

That happened to me on Monday I'm 37 weeks but they gave me TONS of water to drink. I was dehydrated. Try that and that will help slow them down and help them ease up.

I wouldn't be too worried. You went to L&D etc. I would keep a close eye to be sure baby moves daily and that's it. Good luck to you
