Yes mine are painful , I don’t remember them hurting like this with my other kids .

@Diana me either. I’m so uncomfortable and don’t know what to do

I just try to breath through it

@Diana that’s not working for me. I can’t even eat, lay down, sit up, everything hurts and my lower back is killing me

Yes mine are mild , they come out of nowhere, then on top of dat she starts kicking me and turning

I turn to the side I feel much comfortable on and squeeze my pillow and breathe in slowly

@Destiney I turn on both my sides and I’m still having a hard time. Pillows not working either

@Tootie maybe your bet is go for a walk it helps as well

@Destiney ima try that because this isn’t comfortable

When mine come on, I stand up and drink some water, that tends to help me

To prevent them make sure ur not dehydrated!!

Last week I went to labor and delivery because the Braxton Hicks we’re taking my breath away… it was not painful but my heart would race, my chest was hurting.. is hard to describe but I for real thought I was having a heart attack and then my stomach would get really tight! It got a lot better, I still have them all the time but sometimes I don’t even noticed if I don’t touch my tummy! Is always worse towards the end of the day! Sometimes when the Braxton hicks come I feel an urge to use the bathroom… it was so scary at first but after two weeks of having BH every single day I’m getting used to them I had non stress test done twice last week and the monitor didn’t catch any contractions and baby girl is doing wonderful

Honestly if youre on your feet, sitting down should help and drinking some cold water. I've also heard warm baths, massages, and laying on your side with a pillow between your legs help.

Yes I have a few times. Just stop and breath through them. I was told more than 4 in 1 hour to contact my OB.

I get it too. I drink water and laying on the side helps.
