Hi All,
Has anyone any tips on how to reduce the discomfort of Braxton Hicks?
I am 35+2 now, and have been getting them hot and heavy every day. They are quite uncomfortable. I drink water, have baths, move around, but they don’t subside.

This is my 3rd pregnancy. I have never experienced BH like this before. Help!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Are you sure they're definitely BH?! I'm almost 30 weeks and have been having contractions, and maternity have confirmed they aren't BH - my cervix remains closed and long however so they aren't hugely concerned right now!

I'm on my 4th baby (5th pregnancy) and I've had them since 16 weeks. I'm now 31+5 and they're every day all day long. Midwife said it happens the more pregnancies you have 🤷‍♀️ but they're super painful!
