I just recall having BH any time I did anything for my entire pregnancy. They were annoying. But also clearly BH, not actual contractions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913086 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 22:30:19 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2913086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbubbletea: thank you 💕</p> <p>@MrsSRS: thanks for responding. After googling a bit I’m wondering if that’s what I have too. May I ask for more details? When did you start having contractions? How intense/constant were they? I was doing way more than 4-6 an hour (which is when most people say you should call your ob)- more like constant contractions for 4-5 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913079 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 20:00:37 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2913079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you, hope everything is ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913077 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 18:50:27 +0000 MrsSRS 2913077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an "irritable uterus" so just BHed all the time. The things that I found helped the most were gatorade and sitting with my feet elevated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913061 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 12:32:46 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2913061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: thanks.. I am trying to rest as much as possible. You’re right about the stress- my husband and I are guessing this might be at least partly stress induced (due to the state of the world right now and people around us) and last night as I got increasingly anxious they were also getting worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913055 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 11:23:22 +0000 Mama Bird 2913055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had BH contractions start very early with my second and third pregnancies - around 9-14 weeks. Especially my second pregnancy, they would start if I picked up anything slightly heavy, and after I did a lot of walking one day,I even started spotting. LO was fine though. I was a nervous wreck through the whole pregnancy. </p> <p>I'm sure you're really stressed right now and that's not helping. If you can, lie down for as long as you need to, and make your SO look after the older kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913054 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 11:22:36 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2913054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: @bhbee: thanks ladies. I was worried last night because they were just constant contractions, not painful to me but definitely noticeable, for hours and hours. This morning it seems better, still getting them but not as constant. I’m worried about losing the baby but also worried my ob might order bed rest or something this whole pregnancy- I have 6 months to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913045 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 07:36:22 +0000 bhbee 2913045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope it’s just 4th baby making everything show up early - hugs to you while you wait to talk to them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913044 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 01:17:44 +0000 bees_knees 2913044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: I had BH waaaay earlier with pregnancies 3 &amp; 4. I can’t remember when they started, but I know I was feeling them at 14 weeks. They weren’t timeable or intense (like “real” contractions) Hugs, deep breaths :heart: Hope your OB gets back to you soon, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bh-contractions-that-wont-go-away#post-2913043 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 00:21:27 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2913043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I’m 14.5 weeks pregnant and I am feeling Braxton Hicks contractions already. Today especially they are kind of constant. They did go away earlier with lots of water, rest, but they’re back and not going away even though I’ve been resting and drinking. I emailed my ob but am reaching out here to see if anyone has any experiences.</p> <p>I’m worried about going into labor already and losing the baby. </p>
