Is it normal to have braxton hicks at 21 weeks?

hey hun!! dont stress too much. that can actually be bad for you and baby. just sit down and put your feet up. it does indeed sound like it could be braxton hicks contractions. i had these from like 15 weeks and they were super annoying. they aren't regular by any means. they'll come and go as they please. some days i would only have one or two. and then other days they'd be every hour. and the further along you get, the worse they'll usually get. just breath through them. the doctor just told me that some women just have an irritable uterus. so this is probably the case here too. you always need to let your doctor or nurse know of these types of things so they can record it. go ahead and give them a quick call. and best of luck to you!! and make sure to drink lots of water, especially since its summer. dehydration can bring these contractions on worse.
