Hey!

The reason i am awake now is because of Braxton Hicks lol.

I remember reading somewhere that you can feel them more with other pregnancies. before i went into labour with my son i was ocnvinced i was starting labour as they came every 5 mins, but it wasnt the real deal for me.

that said, if you are in pain, i would try and rest in bed and sleep a little, and see how you feel in the morning.

Take care xxx

hey hun, i have had braxton hicks for weeks now... u start getting them from 6 weeks although we dont feel it till much later... well some earlier than others... its actually doing my head in now and quite uncomfy.....My mw did say to me tho if they become frequent and more than 4 or 5 an hour then to let her no... im not sure if this is coz i have complications as it is or if everyone should let her no... dont panic tho hun im not a trained health care provider so what im syaing may only have been aimed at me...xxx

Don't worry, I get these all the time, but I got myself worried last week as I was getting them every few mins for two days! and at one point it go stuck tight for a good 10 mins! I thought something was going on. I nearly posted on here as your doing, asking for advice. I didn't as I went on google and lots of the issue seemed to be about dehydration being a cause of these becomeing more frequent. I hadn't drunk loads those two days, and so I started drinking more again, and the next day they were better and now back to normal frequency.

You shouldn't get pain, just can be a bit uncomfy, but maybee h back acheyou had was from being tight at the front, as the back then supports the tum, as a knock on effect.

They are supposed to get better with movement, but as soon as I get up from my desk to walk to the loo or printer or tea area, I get one! strange!
