A member asked:
I am 33 weeks pregnant & am starting braxton hicks. tonight my belly seems to be harder for longer, almost 30 minutes. should i be worried?

No but call Dr.: You should let your OB know what you are feel;ing as he/she may want you to come in to be checked. Braxton Hicks can start early and continue for many weeks. They should not become more intense, more frequent(i.e more than four per hour), last a lot longer or be accompanied by discharge or pressure in the lower abdomen or back. They can be worsened by dehydration so maintain good water intake
