[[email protected]]

Ok, I thought I was too early for these Braxton Hicks..they hurt! I have them all day at work..Dr didnt seem concerned..but now..at night..I am having trouble breathing cause I think the baby is laying on my diaphragm...is there anything i can do? I tried moving in different positions..nothing was helping..

Hi.

I can't really help you with the breathing thing except to suggest maybe trying to sleep more upright if you haven't tried that yet....

As for the BH contractions...I know what you mean. They can be quite uncomfortable! Sometimes I find that changing position or getting up and walking around will stop them or atleast make them less intense. It is also suggested that you try drinking water...that is supposed to help as well.
