Braxton hicks contractions. Should I be worry

for the last few days I been geting what I think are braxton hicks contractions. Today I been having them thruout the day but no more than 2 or 3 in an hour. They are somewhat painful and I been very uncorfortable. I have also been experiencing lots and lots of bowel movements and there are time were I feel the need to go # 2 ( sorry if it is too much info) but when i go it is just severe pain but nothing happens. I have also notice the baby is a lot less active or no movement at all. At the moemnt I'm 25 weeks along so no sure if this is normal. I'm just so use to feel my little guy move a lot. Going back to my contractions. Should I be worry? I never experience them with my other two babies. I do have to say that this time around i also been diagnose with uterine fibroids and last delivery I had i had a hemorrage after I deliver which was very scary. Anyways, any advice any of you have would be greatly apreciate it.

2-3 in an hour isnt to much cause for concern. Drink some water (lots of water) and lay down. They should let up. If it continues or you are worried it never hurts to put a call into the doctor.

I been drinking water and pretty much laying on the couch, bed and i am still geting them. I just want everything to be ok. as to the baby movement, is it normal for him to stop moving as much?

How do you know the difference between BH and the real thing ive been really curious i havent had them yet but if and when i do i dont want to panic and run to the hospital because i think im in labor lol

BH will usually go away with drinking water, resting, laying down and never become regular. The real thing will not ease up they will continue to get stronger, closer together, and longer.
