So if its staying very variable over 2 hours or so, its probably nothing. If it increases and gets regular then I would worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bh-contractions-is-too-many#post-2266729 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:18:04 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2266729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: ahh that's the missing piece. They're pretty irregular still- sometimes 10 min apart, sometimes 25 min apart!<br /> I'll chug water and see what happens- I can't go home, but I'll keep an eye on things</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bh-contractions-is-too-many#post-2266722 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:13:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 2266722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB said to call if they were more than 6 per hour, but if they are timable and coming in regular intervals you should definitely call. My OB stressed the last part. I had more than 6 per hour plenty of times and called and she never had me come in, but she said if they were on a regular schedule like contractions, she would have had me come straight in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bh-contractions-is-too-many#post-2266720 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:12:25 +0000 Truth Bombs 2266720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, agree with the above. Rest and water and if they dont subside, call the doc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bh-contractions-is-too-many#post-2266717 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:09:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 2266717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do as @lovehoneybee: suggested: go home and lay down, drink lots of water. If they continue to come every 10 minutes or so, might be worth giving the midwife a call. I had tons of BH, and I went to L&amp;D several times because they got regular enough to time. It was just prodromal labor, but I felt better being monitored for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bh-contractions-is-too-many#post-2266709 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:06:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 2266709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time my midwife told me to drink some water and lie down for an hour, and to call after that if I was still getting more than 4 an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-bh-contractions-is-too-many#post-2266702 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:00:36 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2266702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35.5 weeks, and my BH contractions have been out of control this morning- pretty much every 10-15 minutes. They aren't painful but they're very uncomfortable.</p> <p>Any recommendations? </p>
