getting them probably 6-10 times a day, religiously everyday? someone said that it was fine its just the uterus preparing for when real labor hits. im only 7 months so im guessing ill go the whole pregnancy but i was wondering did anyone else go through these so often?

yes. started at 7 month and sometimes more often than 10 times a day. it's like practice labor. the result for me was that i didn't even know when actual labor started. i figured it was just practice. i was 5 cm dilated and walked into my doctors office for a regular checkup. he looked at me funny and asked how i'm dealing with the pain. still didn't know what he was talking about. so time those contractions 2 weeks before your duedate! congratulations and hopefully all this practice is gonna make it easier for you too when the real thing hits!

Oh yeah, I would have that many every day for the last couple of months of my pregnancy. Mine were always at the same time every night--from about 9 pm to 11 pm.

it started at 7 months for me too. You'll have them until you give birth. You'll feel the difference when your contractions start. When the BH come, go for a walk, this way it will prepare you for labor.

totally normal I had them as well, as long as they aren't coming every 5 minutes or so for more than an hour there is no need to worry, also keep in mind that having sex can also cause the uterus to contract.

I'd have them a few times a day for a few weeks, then nothing. Then a few times a day, then nothing.
It may sound weird, but enjoy them. Enjoy everything about being pregnant! (And write it all down so you can recall all of it when your daughter or daughter in law is pregnant!)

6-10 weak contractions over a period of a day isn't enough to push a baby out you're safe, don't worry. We all get them... probibly the same amount, but more women get them in the evening then during the day (donno why) so if we're not feeling them it's probibly because we're sleeping.

YEP I HAVE THEM ALL THE TIME RIGHT NOW...STARTED AROUND 6 MONTHS. I AM NOW 29 WEEKS PREGNANT AND SOMETIMES THEY REALLY HURT. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU THROW IN THE BACK PAIN AND CERVIX PAIN. BUT ITS NORMAL. HAD THE SAME THING WITH MY FIRST SON.

yup I had them starting at 6 months EVERY night when I laid down to go to bed. It drove me nuts.
