What was the longest youve had BH?

DH and i had sex last night and shortly after i started to get BH cramps ver y mild
didnt keep me awake but i felt them everytime i woke up
ive still got them today 13hrs later and it makes no difference to what i do
they dont seem to be increasing in pain or time
just wont go away

so wondering what was the longest you had BH cramps for??

I was going to suggest the same thing.. sounds like pre labour to me. Braxton Hicks go away with rest. Might have been the mix of orgasm and sperm that got things moving a little ;)

With my DS1 I had them for probably 20 hours but that was pre-labour.
With DD2, my BH didn't go away with rest... longest I had them for was 10 - 12 hours-ish, and quite uncomfortable... that was on & off for a few weeks before labour started.

i had them for for 22 hours straight with my last pg and they were 5-10 mins apart but not consistently. i went in for ctg monitoring after having them going for 18 hours as they wanted to make sure bubs was ok after having them for so long- he was fine. i had him 7 days later!!!

the ones i had wednesday night - thursday were very mild (like i slept through them over wednesday night and managed to nap for an hr thursday through them, had i known it was pre-labour i wouldve napped longer as i didnt sleep that night)
they felt like they stopped for a couple of hrs then became intense

Sounds like what I had, bh that were painful but not full on labour type crippling, but wouldn't go away when I moved. I had them for 3 days solid, on the 4th day I went into labour, then the next day I had my baby :)

Good luck :)
