braxton hicks

I am now 33 weeks pregnant and ive been expeiencing braxton hicks contractions for some time now, up until yesterday they were painless but uncomfortable. Last night at 3am I was woken by a really painfull BH, and between the hours of 3am and 6.30am i couldnt sleep as i got a further 5 BH. Throughout the day Ive probably had about another 5 BH but they were nowere near as painful as in the night. I was just wondering if this is normal to have so many, and for them to be painful. They only really lasted for about 30 seconds each one. I just dnt want to go into labour before 37 weeks.

Hi i used to get bh alot walkin would bring them on it would take 30min to do what should have been a 10min walk because i would be in pain. But even though they are normal do mention them to you mw next time you see her and keep an eye on themm to make sure thay dont becoume regular.

I got them a lot too, but they eased off in the last 3 or 4 weeks before my little was born. I made it to 37 wks and 1 day.
As mummyov said, check with your midwife, always the best thing to do. :)

i dont think you should worry really you might just be in slow labour and that could go on for weeks,id ask your midwife next time u see her if ur still getting them just to be on the safe side.if i were u id relax a little bit more u might be pushing urself a little to hard x
