Loss of appetite is completely normal! The baby is taking up more room, and restricting your stomach, try eating smaller portions more often so you are still getting your nutrients. Braxton hicks can last from 1 minute to 45 minutes, it just depends. Try pillows under your legs while you sleep. Good luck!

No your not! I get them for long periods at work because I can't get up and move around too much, so if I don't move they last 10 times longer, which is a pain.

You dont know me but I know what you're going thru. Im at 37 weeks and I feel like she's never going to come out! The leg cramps are getting worse and so are the dreams. The worst part is when I wake up at night and I really gotta pee and I get leg cramps so I cant move. My braxton-hicks are lasting for about 30 -45 seconds and really start to hurt. Well good luck and I hope u feel better! -tatiana
