A member asked:

For 2 days straight, i've been having painless braxton hicks contractions. they come like every 10 minutes and last for 10 mins. i am 30 weeks pregnant. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Braxton hicks contractions are present all throughout your pregnancy . If you feel them regularly every 5 to 10 min apart and doesnot get better with rest or hydration you need to see your doctor. Also if there is any bleeding leaking vaginal pressure see your doctor.
