Make sure your hydrated. They would calm down a bit if I laid down, but not always. I was convinced he was coming early, but thankfully he didn't and the contractions meant nothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contractions-in-3rd-trimester#post-1345175 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:02:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1345175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: Did your doctor tell you to take it easy for a little while when you had the contractions? I'm going to call mine today, but I'm sure there's nothing I can do about it, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contractions-in-3rd-trimester#post-1345069 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:43:35 +0000 MamaBehr 1345069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With each of my pregnancies I got more and earlier contractions. (Like no contractions with the first/ BH with the second at like 30 weeks with the second/bh and period cramps at like 27 weeks with the third) Exactly what you are describing. My doc didn't seem concerned when I talked to her about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contractions-in-3rd-trimester#post-1344986 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:23:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1344986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump please </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/contractions-in-3rd-trimester#post-1344262 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:44:26 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1344262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering how common they are, especially for the 2nd pregnancy. I'm 30 weeks and I've been having light, period-like contractions off and on for the past week. They aren't Braxton-Hicks and they don't have any consistentcy to them, but they are more frequent. Sometimes they are more painful than others, but it happens more when I'm relaxed. </p>
