Hi everyone. Am 21 weeks and 2 days. For the past week I kerp getting braxton hicks. Today they have been quite strong especially this eve. They aren't painful just strong. The baby feels active. I have been quite stressed recently so not sure if its related to that. I am lying in bed and resting up just to be on safe side.
Any thoughts?

I had the same, strong braxton hicks really early on into my pregnancy. They lasted right up until I went into labour.
I just rested and took up pregnancy yoga which really helped with my braxton hicks. They became quite painful in the last month so I recommend learning some relaxing breathing techniques. It's all good, your body is preparing itself :)
