This happened to me at 36 weeks last week. I was having contractions 5-6 minutes apart for about 4 hours. Nothing helped! They eventually stopped but it was quite a scare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1655571 Fri, 23 May 2014 16:32:40 +0000 BabyBruins 1655571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Glad you are okay. I was thinking earlier that you may have the first June baby (in May).<br /> Try to rest??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1655375 Fri, 23 May 2014 14:05:33 +0000 spaniellove 1655375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: When they told me months ago I had irritable uterus and I heard a lot of people end up having to be induced, I thought "that'll end up being me". And I still wouldn't be surprised! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1655337 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:42:30 +0000 twodoghouse 1655337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Glad baby you went in and that baby is ok! At the end I was having constant, regular, painful contractions but they weren't the real thing either. My dr just said that was my new normal and for me, she said to wait until I couldn't walk or talk through them (not saying you should follow that guideline - just what they told me!). Of course in the be I had to be induced. The end of pregnancy is such a roller coaster! Especially since I'd been dealing with preterm labor, contractions, bed rest for 6 weeks by the time I finally had them. I know you've been going through the same thing! Also, I can't believe you're already 37 weeks! Time flies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1655248 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:08:10 +0000 Alivoo01 1655248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad to hear everything is okay with both of y'all.

I had contractions every 3-5 minutes for over 2 hours despite changing my activity level and drinking water. They weren't painful though....you might just be in early labor! I had a NST the day before that and they thought I might be back that day because my contractions were so regular, just not painful. They told me I was likely in early labor. It lasted like 5 days before my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654795 Fri, 23 May 2014 10:30:12 +0000 psw27 1654795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you are okay!

I hope you get some relief soon though, BH can be so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654782 Fri, 23 May 2014 10:27:14 +0000 spaniellove 1654782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, not the real thing. More importantly, baby is doing fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654317 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:10:25 +0000 cmomma17 1654317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654316 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:09:53 +0000 winniebee 1654316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654297 Fri, 23 May 2014 07:55:06 +0000 spaniellove 1654297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure this isn't the real deal but I'm more worried about the constant contractions, since at my NST yesterday they were less frequent and baby was struggling a bit. Anyway, they are sending me to triage, although I'm expecting to be back home soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654266 Fri, 23 May 2014 07:39:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1654266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could be the real deal! Although...I also had pretty long stretches of nonstop contractions that would magically peter out when I got to L+D. But I would still call! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654227 Fri, 23 May 2014 07:14:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 1654227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: My OB told me if I had more than 5 BH contractions in a hour that I needed to go get checked out in L&amp;D. She said to not even bother calling, to just show up. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654221 Fri, 23 May 2014 07:11:48 +0000 lamariniere 1654221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 37 weeks it could be getting real! Keep us posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654172 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:21:59 +0000 sorrycharlie 1654172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you're gonna curse me ;) but, I would call. My OB always said if a shower, water, laying down didn't stop it to call because it was likely actual contractions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654171 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:21:48 +0000 chopsuey 1654171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I had BH nonstop with my 2nd too. Only at night though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654161 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:19:24 +0000 Happygal 1654161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ack. I'm sorry--no tips for you, but I'm sure it's exhausting! Hope they let up for you soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654152 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:05:33 +0000 swedishfish 1654152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My NP told me that Braxton Hicks is a misnomer...they're all contractions but if they're non stop, it might be the real thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654149 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:04:22 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1654149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This could be the real deal my friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nonstop-braxton-hicks#post-1654143 Fri, 23 May 2014 06:01:45 +0000 spaniellove 1654143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 37 weeks and the Braxton Hicks have been pretty much constant (no more than 2-3 minutes apart) since last night. I've tried drinking lots of water, going to the bathroom, lying down, walking, etc. Is this just a normal BH thing? (Is it going to annoy me for days/weeks? :bummed: ) </p>
