I was reading some forums about pregnancy and saw the term 'BH' mentioned a few times. What exactly does 'BH' stand for or mean in the context of pregnancy?
Don't worry, dear, "BH" stands for Braxton Hicks contractions. They feel like a tight squeeze in your belly but they aren't actual labor. Just lie down, sip some warm water, and it will pass soon.
It's Braxton Hicks. Basically, your uterus is just practicing for the real deal. If they go away when you change positions or drink water, you are totally fine.
I used to get Braxton Hicks quite often towards the end, and it's actually a great sign that your body is preparing for a normal delivery! Just breathe through them, they are completely harmless.
Yes, Braxton Hicks contractions are very common in the second and third trimesters. Just make sure you stay well-hydrated, as dehydration can trigger them more, and eat light, frequent meals.
It stands for Braxton Hicks. My doctor explained that unlike real labor pain, these are irregular, don't get stronger over time, and usually stop if you walk around or rest. But if they become regular and painful, definitely call your doctor.
It's Braxton Hicks! 123 Just your uterus doing a little rehearsal before the big day. Drink a big glass of water and rest, they usually disappear quickly!
