Braxton Hicks every day :(

Is it true that if you get Braxton hicks everyday,  that means I'm soon going into labor?

Im 36 weeks too so I was looking over your older posts to see if we were due the same day. I noticed you said you were already 2cm dilated at 34 weeks So maybe you will go into labor soon!

Ive been getting them regularly since 28 weeks (ftm). I told my ob about how frequent they were and at 34 weeks she checked to make sure they weren't causing cervical changes. I wasn't dilated or effaced so she said they were normal bh contractions and not to worry.  Some people just get them more them others

No some people get them the whole pregnancy.. You can start getting them pretty early. It doesn't mean anything except your body is preparing itself to have a baby... Just like any other symptom!

I feel for you.  If you are concerned you could always call your dr? But so long as they dont become regular, really painful or you have a "show" then im sure everything is fine :)

I don't think so. Ive been having braxton hicks everyday, sometimes up to 8 an hour since 22 weeks and I've just turned 36 weeks.. I'm sure it may vary per woman but for me its just simply my uterus practicing!
