Braxton Hicks?
Hello ladies, how are we all today?
I have a little concern, not something i want to bother my midwife or hospital with really, i think they might think i'm losing the plot if i turn up with another problem! Does anyone know if braxton hicks can be set off by activity? I know sex and orgasms can, but i seem to be a bit hypersensitive. Like walking up the stairs, or just standing up for a long time seems to set them off. What worries me is that they arent like i remember them with the boys, just tightening, they are so painful they take my breath away and i have to stop what i'm doing! I went shopping yesterday and had to keep sitting down because they were so bad, but within 20 mins or so of stopping what i'm doing they ease off.
And i've just had another one, all i did was get up to get my lo an apple, and that was enough to get them going! Is this normal? Does anyone know if BH become more painful with each pregnancy?

I'm not sure whether they should become more painful with each pg but they should get stronger the further into your pregnancy.
But they should never be painful, just uncomfortable. If you think they are painful I woul ring you mw just to check.
