SEX....AND BRAXTON HICKS

edited August 2011 in Third Trimester
I'm getting pretty close to my due date. I'm 33 weeks. The last time I had sex about an hour later I had braxton hicks so bad I thought I was probably going into preterm labor. It seemed like they last so long. They last over an hour. Has this ever happened to anyone else. Is this normal?

  • I know same here I'm 26 weeks and everytime I have sex start contractions recommend drink apt of fluids lay in your left side and rest they go away plase if you are in pain go l&d
  • I drank water laid on my side and everything. Eventually I fell asleep. I was fine the next morning. It was just so painful. And I really don't wanna stop having sex...lol I'm actually tryna have as much as I can before she gets here lol
  • My first bh came when I was trying ride during sex...lmao I was like wth but kept on getting it
  • Its normal for your uterus to contract during or after sex... when you aren't pregnant it helps semen get up there to fertilize the egg. & do you get your nipples played with? That will start up contractions too
  • @preggointx lmao that's hilarious i don't blame u.

  • @ashes really that's crazy I never knew or noticed that before
  • I just saw a video saying that the difference bw braxton hicks and real contractions is that they go away. She said if you get them and you're in bed then get up and walk around the house. If you're walking then stop and sit down. It suppose to make the bh stop. I've also heard that sex (orgasms) and nipple stimulation bring on the contractions.
