Too much time on my hands theory, anyone care to indulge me?

If you have painful or frequent Braxton Hicks, was your labout more intense but less problemtic?

Just curious since have lots of BHs and did last time.

Thank you patient people

i had lost of realy strong BH from about 25 weeks infact they got so strong that i through that it was the real thing twice, i found that i had a realy easy not too painfull birth that only lasted 11.5 hours, compared to my mates who didnt have any BH and had labours of 25+ hours.

lots not lost

No BH ever either. When my labour started my contractions soon got very intense, and lasted 10 hours.

12 days

Think we've got a girl's name sorted but not a middle anme. Still in a dilemma about a boy's name!

I'm hoping that watching teh match next week will maybe push me into some action. Maybe.

lots of painful BH then 8 hour labour - intense but straightforward. no idea if there's a connection. mind you, after experiencing the contractions i laugh now at the thought that i found BH painful.....

No Braxton Hicks & a very short fast labour-managed with no pain relief so can't have been that bad.

I had BH's for the final 3 weeks of my pregnancy... DS was botn in jusr over 2 hours!

GOOD LUCK

I had a few BH but not very painful, my labour was not to painful and was straight forward but it lasted 16 hrs....i must add only 25 mins was actually pushing 5 pushes and ds arrived

I had BH from about 20 weeks, really worried me as DD1 had been prem and I thought this one was going the same way! (Shwe ended up 9 days late!) Total labour was 6hrs, with only the last 1 1/2 - 2 being really painful. I also had terrible after pains, not sure if there's any link??

I think someone described frequent BH as having an irritable uterus!

Hmm, looks like a bit of a link then? She says hopefully.

Heaps of BH, threatened labour @ 25weeks and delivered premmie @ 35 weeks. I am doing my darndest not to have BH this time by taking large doses of magnesium and avoiding orgasm.
