braxton hicks - how many is too many?

[joaninha103]

I'm 29 weeks and have had braxton hicks from about 20 wks. Started off about 5 or 6 per week but has steadily increased to 6-8 per day! No pain or any other symptoms, just takes my breath away for a moment! They usually last about 1-1.5 minutes. MW didn't seem concerned last time I saw her, just said as long as they're not painful...
Wondering how others get on with them? Any experience of how they affect real contractions/labour?

I have experienced the strongest labour pains and contractiona due to a minor op a couple of wks ago....trust me you will know when your in labour! I dont worey about anything now cus ive had a taster lol im 35wks and i get constant bh every night with dull period aches, midwive and consultants arebt bothered but have told ke if i hve any other signs of labour to call andgo in. They are veey uncomfy as they happening at night when i want to relax :( x

I have had similar BH to you, started early 21-22 weeks and im now 30+2 and get at least 8 per day, more in the night.

I would say they are still painless excepy the odd one when Ive been walking too much or chasing my rascal toddler

They def started earlier this pg though !!!
