Braxton Hicks are not necessarily indicative of early labor. Your body is preparing that's all.
Congrats I just got off the phone with my friend who's just delivered a little girl. I miss having a brand new baby!! Enjoy it.

No. Ur baby won't be born early. I had braxton hick contractions when I was 5 months preg all the way till i delivered, wh/was at 34 weeks! So, your fine, just rest as much as possible n drink lots of fluids! Hope this helps, and i wish u the best of luck with your pregnancy!

Not necessarily. Your body begins having these contractions to prepare your body for the real thing. You're certainly coming along well to begin having them so frequently. Discuss the location of the pains with your doctor because it could simply be the pelvic muscles stretching to accommodate your growing baby. I experienced this a lot with both of my pregnancies and confused these pains with braxton hick contractions.

I have two young kids, and I had tons of braxton hicks with both of them. From 20 weeks on. As long as they don't hurt, you're fine. My kids were born 10 days late and the second on his due date.

I'm 30 weeks also, and I was getting them all weekend! And I've been getting them for a few weeks now, a lot! My doctor said that if they are irregular then there is nothing to worry about. As for it being a sign that your baby will be born early, I'm not sure...sorry!

no I am pregnant with my second baby I am 36 weeks but its totally normal u wont have your baby early I had them through out the entire pregnancy with my oldest daughter but sometimes you can get them from not drinking enough water so try drinking more water and see if you are still having the contractions as much

No not reallt just practice and come more often if you are under under stress. Try relaxing or changing what ever you are doing if you can and it should help them go away. Plus red raspberry tea is very good for strengthening the uterus and will help. Take care and Best wishes with your new arrival.

not a sign of birth, just your womb getting used to the stretches required during proper contractions, I had them a lot as well, from week 28 onwards both pregnancies.

I had them very early on in my first pregnancy and my son was 4 days late. Good luck!
