I am only in the 23rd weeks and am having strong braxton hicks (almost every 5 minutes interval), is there anyway to stop this?

I don't know if it will stop them, but I was told to drink plenty of water, because dehydration can bring them on. have you talked to your Doctor? I get them quite strong and oftern also, but if they are every 5 minutes I would get checked out.

I haver been having them too and my doc said drink lots of water because of dehydration and to lay on your side when you are having them. If they stay regular for a couple of hour you need to go to the doc or the hospital.

Drink lots of water and please, please, please go to the doctor. I too was having them that frequently and when I got checked out my ob found cervical funneling. Braxton hicks can be very productive. I was also hospitalized for 3 days and put on very unpleasant meds to stop the contractions. I'm 24 weeks and was basically told that I won't carry to term. My doc. said she'll be pleased as punch if we can get to 30 weeks. I don't want to scare you I just really want to convey to you how important it is to get checked. I don't think my case is necessarily typical but you never know. Good luck.
