I just counted: over the last two hours, my uterus has become firm five times after I stood up from lying down. I think that's a lot—five times in two hours? I'm worried, because sometimes it happens less, of course.

It's normal—Braxton Hicks contractions will occur more frequently as the due date approaches.

These aren’t cramps… they’re just muscle tone… tell the doctor about it.

Lyubanya I once spoke to a doctor; she said that if the cervix is normal, there's nothing to worry about.

Tatyana This happens to me 2-3 times a day...
I've never known what treniki are.

I've started having contractions lately as well. With my first pregnancy they prescribed complete bed rest; I was on bed rest twice, and the contractions were more than ten times a day.
This time, maybe about three in a row, not more often. Rest helps. And you rest as well.

This is uterine tone. At least papaverine or magnesium.

No matter what Braxton Hicks contraction articles say, doctors don't like to call this period by that name. I was told even after 30 weeks that it was too early to call it practice contractions.

There is the concept of the uterus, a muscular organ that responds to every change. And there is the concept of tone, then, not contractions.

If you have regular episodes, you should take a shower, take the pills, and lie down. If that doesn't help—go to the maternity hospital.

I was hospitalized at 35 weeks and they stopped contractions like these. Although the gestational age was quite far along.

Ekaterina Halitova Thank you very much for replying. I had the same thing last time as well; the days have been more or less the same, the days are often like this… I’ll monitor how things progress. 🙏 On Monday I’ll go for an ultrasound to check the cervix, the scar, and the blood flow.

Contractions: you should really go to the hospital. During contractions, fetal hypoxia can occur and the uterus can press on the baby; water may even start to leak or the amniotic sac may rupture. I wouldn't joke about this.

Elena I'll go for an ultrasound tomorrow, and we'll see what happens. Thank you.
