Hello to everyone! I am new to this site but I need some feedback. I am currently 32 weeks along in my second pregnancy and have been having Braxton-Hicks contractions since about six months or so. I had a great deal of stress in this pregnancy and even had a seizure because of it. I am curious to know if these contractions are so strong and so often (daily) maybe due to stress or more intense due to stress. Could it bring on early labor? Pretty much, should I be concerned? Please help!!!!!!
I would talk to your doctor. I am about 26 weeks and I have had them since I was about 5 months preggers. My doctor told me that dehydration could make them stronger. I was dehydrated at the time. I notice that when I get upset or have a panic attack, I have more braxton hicks. I also get them more often when I am really tired. I have trouble walking around the grocery store without getting them. I would be curious to know if they could cause early labor.
Try to think happy thoughts and you will get there. You only have a short time left. Pretty soon you will be holding your new munchkin.
