  • Braxton hicks are just practice contractions. I don't think you can stop them. Just try to relax and it should ease up.
  • Ugh the last one brought me to tears.. I'm only 23 wks.. I don't need practice lol.. I'm just worried they will turn into real ones...
  • Call your dr, but I think tylenol, drinking something cold, and taking a shower are all remedies I've heard. They shouldn't bring you to tears though and the stinging in your cervix sounds more like real labor, I think.
  • Drink a couple large glasses of water and change your activity level. If you are up, lay down on your left side, if you are laying down, get up and walk around a little bit. You could try a relaxing bath as well. If you have more than 5 in an hour you should call your doctor to be safe :)
