    When did you start getting them? What pregnancy is this for you? Im 23 weeks pregnant and they just really started the past few days. 3rd pregnnacy. With my last guy they started much earlier. We also just got to Hawaii a few days ago too. Ive been trying drink lots. Im drinking so much that, Im peeing so much then when I have to go pee and Im moving around I get a BH. Im not sure if the BH are starting more just because or if Im doing more walking here.. They don't hurt.

    Mine started around the same time. Something to keep in mind also is that having a full bladder can make you have contractions so make sure if you're drinking that much (which is GOOD!) that you're also emptying your bladder frequently. :)

    Have fun in Hawaii! I'd love to be there now!

    I started getting BH around 20 weeks with this pregnancy, and this is my 4th. Once I increased my water intake it significantly reduced them, but like the other post mentioned you really need to empty your bladder frequently to avoid more BH! Have a wonderful trip!
