Braxton hicks
This is my second pregnancy but I didn’t have this issue last time (had to be induced at 40+3) , I’ve been having consistent Braxton hicks since last night, im extremely hydrated and nothing I do seems to be working. They’re bearable, i can walk thigh them and they’re not happening constantly but when they do there’s about a minute to a minute and a half apart. Does anyone know any ways to relieve it? Im only 35 weeks so I really think its just Braxton hicks but it feels like period cramps in the front and back and extremely annoying

@Sarsha yes omg the soft belly. I’m having that right now it’s like he’s dropping super low or something
I’m going through the same!!
A belly band can help and increasing collagen. I’m 34 weeks with #4 and have seen a decrease in my Braxton hicks when my belly is lifted with my belly band. You can also try kt tape. I like it because you can keep it on for multiple days. That definitely has helped decrease them as well
I’ve been having them too. Some are real contractions. Has the dr checked your cervix? At 35 weeks (last week) I was 80% effaced and 2cm. They said since I called yesterday about seeing blood when I wiped yesterday and Tuesday night that they might check today.

I been having the same issue and I'm also 35 weeks!! I swear I have more Braxton hicks and a hard belly throughout the day than it is soft. It's so uncomfortable
