Hi, i'm 31 wks and been getting painful braxton hix that make me go light headed. Is anyone else getting them or had them in the past like that. I never felt them with ds or contractions so this is all new to me. Thanks in advance ------------- http://lilypie.com">

hey there,
im 24 weeks and have been getting them for a little while, but they are not painful just uncomfortable at times. If they continue to get painful like that id ring your midwife just for piece of mind. |

Interesting.
I have been getting them for a while third time around and they seem to be getting worse the further on I get. I will often have to stop what I am doing and sit down or take deep breaths to get through them. I have really really low blood pressure so at the moment anything seems to make me short of breath. -------------

ob said low iron was making me light headed with braxton hix so have to double the dose. he told me to do the same as mw said - record when they are happening and if getting too painful ring mw. have had to have panadol a few times dueing the night but nothing more than once.
