Braxton hicks advice
Currently 39 weeks. Been getting intense BH for about 4 days now, not really painful but uncomfortable and they make my chest go very tight. They come very regularly, not really been tracking too closely but probably every 10 mins ish. Anyone else got the same or does anyone know if it normal to have them this regularly and really intense? I am just a bit worried as I read somewhere that it can cause distress for the baby

Been having something similar on and off for 3 days at random weeks and similar thing again this weekend. A bit more painful, period like cramps. Essentially was told that unless the pain progresses, there’s nothing to worry about. But that was just an advice for me. Maybe they’ll tell you something different! Don’t hesitate giving them a call
Same here! Sometimes can be a few within the hour but no pain really. I get the same breathlessness that you mention. I haven't spoken to triage about it as I assumed it was normal but interested to hear responses here.

If you are having 4 or more within an hour I would contact triage hun. I found the further on in my pregnancy gets the more my braxton hicks get more intense and uncomfortable. Some of them ain’t painful but some can be really painful xx
