Excessive BH?

[Babsi68]

My Braxton hicks haven't ever been a problem just total hardening of my entire tummy and then if I'm sitting or walking it becomes harder to breathe and I've never counted them really but there weren't that many in a day. Today, I've had for sure more than 4 in an hour and I have some slight cramping in the lower parts and every once in a while some slight back pain and this feeling like I've gotta

It all depends. Ive been getting what ur describing for a few weeks now abd nothings happened. Ill go 4 hrs some nights with bh 3 mins apart and then they just stop. This is also my second pregnancy and i have an orritable iterus so my doc said it was pretty normal for me. Iknow it second pregnancies bh can be more painful and more consistent but if it continues or gets more painful id go get checked. With my firt i knew i was in labour so im waiting for those contractions again but remember it can change suddenly and u could be in the 3rd stage of labour before u know it.

I'm just over 38 weeks now at 38+2 so I know it could be true labor at any second but I mean they aren't happening regularly, in fact one hour there's a lot and the next there might not be any. I'm just curious cuz I know they say more than 4 an hour and that's something to worry about but I'm just kinda like meh there's no pain so it doesn't feel like anything I need to worry about so I wanted some more opinions..

How far are u. When I was in labor I had that feeling that I needed to fart but it was just the pressure of my daughter moving down further.

Yes, every labor and pregnancy is different, it may just be braxton hicks, but alot of girls on here and my SIL all were experiencing what you are now. I made my SIL go get checked and she was in true labor. A couple other women on here have had it too and then had their babies within a day/ few hours!

Sorry it entered before I was done. But I've also gotten this feeling like I've gotta pass gas and there's no gas to pass. Baby is still moving, this is my 2nd pregnancy but it was different last time around and true labor contractions felt different than this. My question, should I be more concerned than I am and call the dr?
