Braxton hicks...want advice please...

Ok...so I just started getting them about a week ago...they keep happening more frequently though...is that just how they r...or if you get them more frequently does that mean your going to go in labor soon? I'm 32 weeks 5 days by the way..

Anyone?

I got them frequently especially after my first. I never noticed a correlation between the two... but I know taking a shower would tell me if they were fake or real contractions. Good luck

Really? So taking a shower stops the braxton hicks?

I started getting them frequently at 22 weeks w/ both my pregnancies. My son was born @ 29/6 weeks but, im still nowhere close to true labor @ 39/5 right now. So, I dont think they're indicative of real labor. If you cant stop them with a glass of water and laying on your side, call your ob or go in to get checked.

I think as long as they arent regular when timed and arent increasing or painful uts natural. I would make a quick call to ur doc to at least ease your mind...the stresd is.probably making them worse

I can't ever tell cause mine always feel like the real thing. I just time them
