More braxton hicks mean early baby?

[fionaleigh88]

Been having braxton hicks for weeks now, been to the labour ward three times, and they told me my cervis hasn't dialataed, told me to keep waiting. I'm 33 weeks and 4 days now, never get very regular contractions, but still have loads of these everyday, all day and night. Did you have this and did your baby come early?

I had Brixton Hicks from 18wks on and off and fairly regular and painful from 30wks, went 6 days overdue!

I never had Braxton hicks and was 8 days early.

I had Braxton hicks throughout both pregnancies in afraid. One was 3 days early and the second was 2 weeks early.

I didn't have a single Braxton hicks and baby was born at 38 weeks. My mum had loads and all hers were overdue.

I’m 32+4, been having lots since about 26 weeks! They seem to be more frequent if I’m active or if I’m tired but like you I get them day and night, they were completely painless to begin with and now they’re like mild period pain.

I don’t think they are associated with early labour though, just one of those random things that some get and some don’t.

I had no braxton hicks and my baby was 3 weeks early.

I've been having them since 16 weeks!

I feel my Braxton Hicks from about 14 weeks and my babies are always a couple of weeks late.

We have Braxton Hicks the whole pregnancy. Even at 4 weeks.
The only thing that differs is when we feel them, if at all.

So basically, Braxton Hicks have absolutely no bearing on whether your baby will be early.
