I had a few more last night and one this morning, so I decided to work from home today - my commute is about an hour, and it's snowing here today, so it'd be a lot longer. I just don't feel comfortable being so far away from the hospital in the event that this is it! I am pounding the water and hoping that helps, because I know I was dehydrated yesterday. Keep me posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2118035 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 08:38:02 +0000 yellowbird 2118035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SunshineMcC: I'm in the same boat. I had semi-painful bh every 3 minutes last night for 2 hours but the tapered off. They're back this morning but a lot more sporadic. I'm 39 weeks today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2117812 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 20:25:54 +0000 SunshineMcC 2117812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nearly 38 weeks and had BH today that were very painful and I thought it was labor time! This is my first so I don't have anything to compare it to. I drink a bunch of water though and then they stopped, and they were just in my belly and my front nothing in my back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116908 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 12:40:09 +0000 yellowbird 2116908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I'm definitely moody! I have been losing mucous plug but not bloody, so it means nothing. I'm ready for him to get out though! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116907 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 12:37:17 +0000 sorrycharlie 2116907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I had BH/real contractions for months and months. Then no signs of labor - I don't think - before I spontaneously went into labor (early!). So don't lose hope! I didn't have any dilation, mucus plug, etc. Bloody show at the hospital after admission. </p> <p>I think I was moody and Bao kept saying I was going to have her any day. Lo and behold.. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116864 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:35:44 +0000 yellowbird 2116864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: mine are uncomfortable, but nothing like labor was with #1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116757 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 07:48:58 +0000 travellingbee 2116757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah for the final two weeks I had tons of BH. False labor 2 times with timeable and somewhat painful contractions that then just stopped after a couple hours. When real labor started for me it was much more intense though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116741 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 07:00:03 +0000 yellowbird 2116741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: @Cole: did you guys have any other impending labor signs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116739 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 06:59:19 +0000 yellowbird 2116739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHansen82: I feel like that's what will happen to me. I will schedule an induction for 41 weeks. I'm 38 and 5 today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116729 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 06:31:23 +0000 Cole 2116729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine ramped up but then went away completely for like twelve hours before labor began. I had been having enough of them that it was odd to have them just go missing completely. Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116720 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 05:14:20 +0000 turquoisemama 2116720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but it went on for a few weeks. I kept thinking it was going to happen, but alas, induced at 41+4 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116672 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 23:38:11 +0000 sapphire 2116672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I had two days of mild painless but frequent contractions before the real deal. Fx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-braxton-hicks-ramp-up-before-labor#post-2116631 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 22:03:14 +0000 yellowbird 2116631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been having constant braxton hicks that started yesterday. They are pretty sporadic. They come in spurts that will be every 2-10 minutes and last about an hour several times a day. Some are a little painful.</p> <p>Please tell me this is a sign that labor is coming soon! </p>
