Ways to stop contractions?

I've been having a lot of braxton hicks, my stomach gets really hard and its harder to breathe. The problem is, im sick at the moment and have a really stuffy nose. So when the braxton hicks come, plus my already stuffy nose, its really hard to breathe normally. Is there anything I can do or take to stop the bh?

I drink lots of water and soak in a warm bath. It's the only thing that helps my Braxton Hicks. I hope you feel better soon!

^^ what they said! also try to calm down and focus on just breathing bc the more you get yourself worked up about not being able to breathe you will hyperventilate at least that's what happens to me so I just try to calmy breath and relax
