How many times a day do you get Braxton Hicks contractions?
I swear, I get them about 8-10 times a day at 36 weeks!! And they definitely last longer than a minute!
I have one right now!
How many times do you get them?

Im get probably about the same amount. Last Friday, I was getting them like 20 minutes apart all day. I was freaking me out but by Saturday, I was fine.

When do they start? Does everyone have them?

Re: How many times a day do you get Braxton Hicks contractions?
I hardly got ANY until about 36 weeks. They became frequent right away and would even become timeable sometimes. I'd say that over the last week or two, they've increased even more, especially after I've been on my feet for a while after a night at work. I'm 39 weeks now and I've had a few over the past week that have lasted about a minute long and have come about every 7-8 minutes or so. I think it's totally normal! I've been told that it's a good thing, as the Braxton Hicks can help get the cervix ready and ripened!

I'm getting them 4-6x's a day at 32 weeks (w #2). They started earlier with this one.

Re: How many times a day do you get Braxton Hicks contractions?
I feel like I have them 16 hours a day! And I feel like they started at 15 weeks with this pregnancy. The intern at my high risk doctor said no way, but I read they can start at 9 weeks.
Now that I'm so big, it hurts my lower back when it happens!

Re: How many times a day do you get Braxton Hicks contractions?
At about 20w, I'd get them 2 or 3 times a day, usually when I was thirsty or had to go to the bathroom. They went away at about 26w or so, and just came back at about 32 or 33w. Now I find my belly getting hard and tight all the time. It feels different from what it felt like at 20w - I guess because my uterus is twice the size! - but I'm sure it's Braxton Hicks. Maybe 6-10 times a day? And for a minute or longer too. Not exactly painful... but pretty uncomfortable.

Re: How many times a day do you get Braxton Hicks contractions?
i've been getting them, what i think is them, from about 15 weeks or so. i get them at least once a day, sometimes 2 or 3, but i know they will probably start to get worse!
