I've been having contractions since Monday - I assume these are Brax contractions. But how long will it be when the baby will come. I'm 35 weeks pregnant. And my due date is June 4th. Will I have the baby before then?

Who knows? But I had B-H contractions with my last baby starting at about 25 weeks. He was born at 38.5 weeks (because we induced early due to my history). You will probably not go into real labor until you are due, but the BH do help things move along. They're not for nothing. Good luck! :)

I am due June 6th and I have been having contractions for 3weeks or so (my doctor was there when I had one. That is how I know for sure) He told me that if I have more then 4 in an hour that I needed to drink 32oz of water and that if they continued with more then 4 in an hour that I was to call him. I asked him if he thought I was going to have the baby before my due date, due to the fact that I have had the contractions, the baby has been head down for 2 or 3 months. He said that he thought that the baby would come at 37 weeks. I guess we will see. I have 2 more weeks tell then.

Make sure that you are drinking enough water. mild dehydration can cause contractions.
Having your baby at 35 weeks could end up with your baby in the NICU on a ventilator. Some 35 week babies do fine and their lungs are mature and some are not. If you are having more than 6 contactions in an hour call your OB. Do they stop if you lie down and rest?
Again drink a couple of big glasses of water, sit down and put your feet up.

Trust me, you'll never know.. i started having my braxton hicks alot around that time.. i was determined that my little bundle of Joy would come early... Yet he was a week late and they had to induce labor.. Just go about it day by day and enjoy these last few weeks being pregnant, get some rest and of course, as you know, if they get stronger, or every 4 minutes, get Ready!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

the onyl way to tell if you will have the baby befor ehand is to wait to realyl be in labor. Braxton Hicks are just a way of preparing your body for labor. I had Braxton Hicks when I was pregnant with ym son startign at 6 months, he was 4 days late.....so it all depends on yoru baby!!!!!

well you should have gotten her spayed the first time. having false preg. can cause mastitce she sounds like she is going to need you so stay with her take her temp as soon as it is under 100 she is ready it will hapen within 12 hours. take her to the vet 24 hours after the first pup so they can give her a clean out shot this will make sure there is no pups stuck in there and help keep infection down. keep an eye on her teats make sure the milk is always white if it becomes yellow or god forbid greenish you need to see the vet .

With my last I was having fairly regular contractions, and was 3 cm dilated for a week before i was ready to deliver. My doc was not concerned, just had to wait it out.

Braxton hick can start weeks before you deliver. They are no sign of impending labor. Its just your body warming up. You could go 5 more weeks

braxton hicks can last for months. so therefore you most likely will not have your baby early...but you never know.
