A member asked:
In my 29th wk, how often are "braxton hicks" contractions to occur before it becomes a cause for concern? i've had as many as 10+ a day in the last wk

Please call your OB: Now your OB can decide what to do , if u were my pt i would do a monitor strip and an ultrasound and cervical length, in my book u are having too many at 29 weeks so call your OB now.
