Contractions

Has anyone else had any Braxton hicks contractions? I'm 24+6 and had to go to triage last night due to tightening. I didn't have any pain but they told me it was braxton hicks contractions and just to monitor them. When you get them, what do you recommend to stop it or get through it?

Drink more water, breathe through them, and try to change positions if possible!

You can't always stop them. But sometimes I have found I get more of them when I've overdone it (been on my feet too long, not rested enough, etc) or have not drank enough.
