Constant braxton hicks at 32 weeks

[HighlyStrung1987]

I'm coming up to 32 weeks and having fairly strong braxton hicks frequently throughout the day(at least every half an hour for a few minutes at a time). They don't really hurt, but they're uncomfortable and they're all the time. I can't do much while they're happening and it's quite annoying. I've been having quite frequent BH since early on in my second trimester so I'm not worried I'm about to go into labour or anything, but as baby grows and the BHs get more intense I am exhausted with the amount of sensation I'm experiencing! Should I be concerned? Has anyone else had this? I will mention it at my next MW appointment, but am interested in other people's experiences in the meantime.

I am 30 weeks 2 days now having same as you my tummy goes rock hard and few pains in back , I can't sleep thou at night he's always kicking and getting restless syndrome and cramps just keep thinking only another 10 weeks to go 😂

Are you quite active? I was finding I was having a lot of braxton hicks when I was working and on my feet all day.
I finished work at 34 weeks and now I’m relaxing more I’ve had less. Currently 38 weeks and no signs of labour.

@WiseDog Argh it's relentless isn't it! I obviously want him to cook for as long as possible and don't feel remotely ready for him to come out yet, but also really can't imagine another 8+ weeks of this!

@Mh0509 Not especially active no. I'm carrying very big and low and I'm only sleeping a couple of hours a night, so I find it hard to do very much. I'm glad yours have calmed down a bit for you.

@Mh0509 yeah feels like he's awake 24/7 from the minute I get up from going bed he's always kicking hopefully he's not like this when he comes out 😂 probably thinking u getting no rest ha x
