BHs for nearly 24 hours!

[Mum2Willie]

Just sharing and wanting to know if others experience this. I have had Braxtin Hicks pretty well continuously since 5pm last night. Until around 11pm last night, bubs squirmed and wiggled (making alien movements with my belly) and the downward pressure has certainly intensified.

I am 36 wks and 5 days. I know they are not contractions as I have son and remember that you cannot mistake those. However, I was induced with him at 41.5 wks and he really showed no signs of coming out before that, so I basically went into hard and fast labour. I did experience a lot of BHs with him from very early - 26 weeks i think - but they last only for a much shorter period of time.

The constant tightening is giving me lower back pain too! It is not hurting just uncomfortable.

Anyone else had this recently??

yeah i have them sometimes for hours on end they dont seem to stop and i have them with back pain as well, freaks me out always - think labour is coming early but it never has fingers crosses touch wood

if ur worried call the hossy or go in and they can monitor u and see if what u are feeling is actually real contractions

good luck
