Braxton hicks
I’ve had a huge increase in quantity of Braxton hicks. They are slightly painful too! Like not super painful but annoying and always noticeable. I’ve been having tonsss the past week. That’s just normal right? I’m not like gearing up to go into preterm labor am I?

I’m almost 28 weeks and around 26-27 weeks I had them pretty badly. I didn’t have them last pregnancy. My doctor told me that it could be an indication of dehydration.
@LeKenya are you letting your doc know or is that not necessary??
@Noel good to know! I feel like I drink a ton of water but maybe I need to up it some because I feel like im contracting 75% of the day
It helps to get moving, walk around stretch. try not to sit or stand for long periods of time. Walk around or lie down preferably on the left side if you feel tired
