braxton hicks or not??

Question

i'm 24 weeks pregnant, i spend most of thurs and most of friday in hospital with pains in my abdomin, back, and across my stomach, and sickness, due to the pain. i had blood and urine tests caried out and seen 2 doctors who concluded there was nothing wrong with me, and my pain could be due to a bug or braxton hicks, so i got allowed home. i was fine all day sat but woke this morning around 6am with the pain again across my tummy and in my back, i got them every 30-40 mins and they would go away after i got up and walked around. This lasted untill about 9am, Im wondering if these could be braxton hicks, or not as they are extremly painfull, any experience of braxton hicks would be appreciated? thanks

Answer 1

Try to relax. like the other comment said drink lots of water and try to lay down. But when i was pregnat it would hurt more to lay down if that is the case sit in on the sofa with you feet up. Oh, and if you think your water breaks, drink a big glass (the biggest you have) of water. If it comes straight out it will feel like you are peeing on your self your water has broke and you need to call 911 or go to the hospital right away. Hope this info helps. Merry X-mas and good luck.

Answer 2

I had Braxton Hicks all throughout my pregnancy with my daughter.
Drink lots of water and lay on your left side and that should make them go away! If they become regular (more than 4 in an hour for 2hrs straight) go to labor and delivery to be checked.
