Keep hydrated also, my braxton hicks contractions started out very painfully when I was dehydrated, I ended up in the hospital for 5 hrs and went through two bags of IV fluid. I was only at 26 weeks when this happened. Braxton hicks will start becoming more frequent the closer you get to your due date, if they continue to become very painful consult your OB. They should only be lasting a mere 30 seconds every hour if that. Try to keep yourself active to keep your mind off of the contractions also. Hope this helps you any. Congrats on your pregnancy!!

If they stop when you change activities it's likely they're just Braxton hicks.
