braxton hicks

[clairelou88]

how often is it ok to get braxton hicks contractions?
I have been getting them since 24weeks on and off, now i have them all the time! so uncomfortable, when my bladders full i get them, even when i stand up after i pee i get them! and when i just stand up from sitting in the car or a chair i get them, they even wake me up in the middle of the night.wierd!

i hope things get better at my last visit my doctor told me to be careful and watch the bh contractions if they got to bad... i was told if you get more than 6 an hour or start to see a pattern in them like every 5 mins apart or something then you need to call your doctor and or go to the er. other than that i was told it should be fine, so just be careful.

I'm not sure if I've gotten braxton hicks contractions yet?  The fact that you said when your bladder's full you get them made me wonder if what happpened to me this morning was one of those contractions?  I peed and like right after I was done and started to stand up I got this really tight feeling in my belly.  It went away really quickly though.  You think that's what it was?

I have been dealing with this a lot lately too...I have been getting 3-4 an hour for a couple weeks, but my doctor said as long as they aren't patterned and there is not bleeding that i shouldn't be too concerned.  My doctor even checked cervix last week and it was still closed so i am just monitoring them and making sure it isn't advancing to anything more.  I would just keep track of them and keep your dr. filled in on the whole situaton
