Then having more painful ones since 35 weeks. I am 39 weeks now and just waiting for baby. I don't really think BH mean anything when it comes to when the baby comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138221 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 12:15:49 +0000 yellowbird 2138221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pretty intense ones starting around 30 weeks. They would be mildly painful and timetable in the evenings most days. I had ds at 40+3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138209 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 12:06:14 +0000 Jess1483 2138209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them, but don't feel them (I have to happen to be touching my belly when they happen to notice). Same with pregnancy #1. I never felt any sort of contractions (and therefore don't know how frequent they were/are) until a week prior to birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138205 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 12:05:04 +0000 Banana330 2138205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had them since 20w, they are constant when I'm walking or moving or shifting positions and occasionally timable take your breath away kind. I'm currently 39w and no sign of baby yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138101 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 11:06:01 +0000 Eko 2138101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the input! This is actually easing my worry. I don't mind and am actually anticipating on going past my EDD, but was just starting to worry a bit since they are getting a little strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138099 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 11:03:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 2138099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton and had a scheduled -section at 40+2. I also had actual labor contractions, dilation and effacement for almost a month before she was born, which didn't help speed things up either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138059 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 10:51:27 +0000 travellingbee 2138059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them from 20 weeks or so and they were quite strong throughout my third trimester. Sometimes even regular and timeable. I went into labor at 40+3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138055 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 10:50:34 +0000 sslm 2138055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to be a downer but I had tons from about 20 weeks and didn't go into labor until 41+4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138051 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 10:49:00 +0000 rattles 2138051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton with both pregnancies from 24 weeks on. Dd1 was born at 39+5 and Dd2 was born at 40+5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2138009 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 10:32:48 +0000 matador84 2138009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them off and on 25 weeks until 40 when I had DS. Hardly had any with dd and had her at 36 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/braxton-hicks-when-did-you-go-into-labor#post-2137989 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 10:25:37 +0000 Eko 2137989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am curious to hear about other mama's experiences with braxton hick contractions (intensity, frequency, etc.) and when you ended up going into labor. </p> <p>I am currently 31w and have been having BH contractions since around 25w. At first they were pretty mild and not very frequent, maybe a couple times a day. More recently, they are growing with intensity and frequency. Not to a point where I think they are moving to actual contractions, but just getting really uncomfortable. I am wondering if this could be an indicator that labor will come before EDD. </p>
