braxton hicks

Definitely dehydrated. Check in with your doctor for labs. 🫶🏾

I started getting mine at 26 weeks, you could be dehydrated xx

Possibly a combo of round ligament pain and dehydration? If you don’t like water try body armor!

Definitely not normal! I agree with everyone else! Your most definitely dehydrated maybe even have a uti, that’s what was causing me to have small contraction at 20 weeks

I had them from 18 weeks I wasn’t dehydrated, everything was fine! I checked with my midwives to be safe but dont worry❤️

@Tiara i drink a ton of water daily which is why i’m super confused! water is the only thing i drink now besides a cup of coffee a day, it’s all i want

@Almalee i drink a ton of water daily which is why i’m super confused! water is the only thing i drink now besides a cup of coffee a day, it’s all i want. i’m also on preventative antibiotics for a uti since during my pregnancies i get kidney infection scares lol so not a uti fortunately

@Ace then the pain is most likely normal and nothing to worry about!! Maybe it’s not necessarily Braxton hicks

@Ace I see someone said that they had them at 18 weeks and wasn’t dehydrated so you may be right. Hopefully everything is good with you and your little one. I’m sure it will be! 🫶🏾

I started getting Braxton hicks at 14 weeks, I now have a healthy baby. I would probably just drink more water:)

That’s not normal

I had minor ones I couldn’t feel that showed up on my 16 week ultrasound after I emptied my bladder (apparently they often happen after you pee). I was creeped out - my doctor said it was totally normal. Again, they were super mild and I wouldn’t have known if they weren’t pointed out. I still haven’t felt them yet, but apparently mild ones can definitely happen that early. I stay insanely hydrated, too. I’d ask about it if you’re severely feeling them, though!!
