Ok lately my braxton hicks contractions have been gettin more intense like and lasting alot longer, I cant really time them apart or anything but it seems like im almost always having one. Is this normal or should I worry about it? They dont really hurt or anything but they are gettin really really uncomfortable.

Im 27 weeks... I dont have them constantly, its like they last forever and I adventually forget about it, and then another one begins, not right after the other one, but I dont know how close together they are...Its kinda hard to explain, but it seems like I have them all the time, compared to my couple a day... Is it normal for them to get more intense and more often the further along I get? I think my doctor told me that I shouldnt worry about them as long as they are more than 10 mins apart... Does that sound right?

Its normal for them to get intense and more frequent the further along u are, but ur only 27 weeks so u shouldnt be feeling them like u are now. U should call ur doc if ur really worried about it. Im sure its nothing but just check to be sure.
