@Riley I’m 37 weeks and 3 days
I’ll be 37 weeks tomorrow, I’ve been having Braxton hicks all day everyday for like the past 2 days. They get worse at night 😭 I’m sooo over it
@Kayla i just don’t know when to go to the hospital
Girl me either 😩 I feel like at this point I won’t have any idea
@Kayla mine have been getting so bad at night too!! I’m trying to stay home as long as possible this time around. I’ll be waiting until it’s absolutely unbearable before I go in. But I also live about 10 minutes from our hospital
Track length of time of the contractions/ stomach pain, time between/frequency and how intense they are as in can I talk through the discomfort/ pain
You go in if water breaks or contractions are I think the 5/1/1 rule. 5 minutes apart lasting one minute for one hour. Braxton hicks suck but usually go away with water/ hydration, changing position, and are felt in front while regular contractions move to back area. I’ve had Braxton hicks on off for two weeks, lightning crotch, sciatica nerve pain, you name it, I’m happy though one more week till c section :)
@Kenzie I’m 37 and 5 days my daughter is big she’s 7lb 9 ounces I have been experiencing really bad hip pain my legs literally shake from pain I had a c section before idk if this is the cause but I feel so score in my lower stomach cramps are breath taking but they stop oh my vagina hurts too soo much pressure
How far along are you? I’m 35 almost 36 weeks, but Ryker is measuring big and I have been experiencing this the last few days as well! Had no idea if it was normal or not!
