Answer please

Okay, I'm 35w & 1d is it normal to get Braxton Hicks more often? I'm asking because I've tried all, I'm drinking lots of water that (I'm literally peeing water! ) and laying on my left side but I see no changes! Someone please answer.

They can increase the further along you get. If they are timable then you may be in labor

I am 23 weeks and I experienced what I think was braxton hicks for the first time today. Is that too early?

If you drink water.and rest on your left side and the BH don't stop in 20min you could be in labor. That is the difference between really and not when deciding on calling or not.

If imagine so? I'm not sure exactly but iv read that BH is your body's way of practicing and softening your cervix to get ready for real contractions and birth so I assume the closer we get the more it will happen? That's just an assumption tho lol
