Supposedly, that will stop Braxton Hicks (and always worked for me). It never hurts to call your doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-labor-contractions#post-68634 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:46:31 +0000 enjollah 68634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc told me contractions 5-6 mins apart in an hour...and to wait the full hour too. I'm not sure what braxton hicks feels like though. I would suggest when in doubt, just call to be safe. :) When are you due? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-labor-contractions#post-68615 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:08:22 +0000 tequiero21 68615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was told that if you have 4 or more contractions within an hour, you may be in pre-term labor. what if it's 4 or more braxton hicks - should i call the doctor? </p>
