Crazy Braxton Hicks

So I've been having b/h ALL DAY!! I've been having about 5 or 6 an hour...sometimes more regardless of my activity. I'm fully hydrated and only experiencing a little bit of pressure/lower back pain (which is not completely abnormal for me b/c I'm carrying kind of low). I'm trying to be level headed and not freak out and run to triage! I don't want to be one of those crazy ladies always thinking she's in labor  I'm 31 weeks and I know they're super common (I've been having them regularly since 2nd trimester), but has anyone else experienced them like this. If I'm not having any other early labor systems I have nothing to freak about right?

Quoting Sarah with an 'H':“ So I've been having b/h ALL DAY!! I've been having about 5 or 6 an hour...sometimes more regardless of ... [snip!] ... anyone else experienced them like this. If I'm not having any other early labor systems I have nothing to freak about right?”

Hmmm... I could definitely be wrong, but I think if you are up to 6 in an hour... BH or not.. you should call the doctor just in case. Just to be safe. Nothin crazy about being safe!   I was being monitored a couple of weeks ago during a migraine scare overnight... they seemed concerned with my having 6 contractions in an hour (I thought they were Braxton Hicks... and I wasn't even feeling all of them at that!)

I had them liek that at 31 weeks and it turned out I had a UTI I would go to ER or your Dr just to be on the safe side - A UTI can cause preterm labour.

Hmmm...thanks ladies. Guess I'm gonna call the doc...I've been counting I've had 7 in the past 45 minutes!! Eek!

If they're timeable, try timing them. I time mine at contractionmaster.com

thanks for the link!

i feel like i'm having them ALL THE FREAKING time, too!....i was going to post this today!
