38 weeks & tired of sooooo many braxton hicks

How's everyone's experience's of braxton hicks at this stage of pregnancy?

For the last 8days I have been having 2-6 braxton hicks an hour, most hours of the day - my midwife isn't concerned, they have ocasionally been regular but mostly irregular!

Now these braxton hicks seem tighter & more uncomfortable but aren't proper contractions.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I'm feeling more than ready for this baby!

This is my 2nd baby & head is already 3 fifths engaged which I was quite pleased with as it can happen as late as labour once you've had one baby!

I had BHs from 20wks. By 36wks they'd start at midday, and be every 5 mins. They did hurt by then as DS's head would be squished down into my pelvis.

It helped to rest more. But with two other children that might be wishful thinking!

Take it easy if you can!
