While Braxton Hicks contractions are usually not cause for concern, they can be uncomfortable. Here are some ways to manage them:
- Hydration: Drinking plenty of water can help reduce the frequency of Braxton Hicks contractions as dehydration is a common trigger. - Rest: Taking a break and lying down can help alleviate the discomfort. - Change Position: Sometimes, simply changing your position can help. If you are sitting, try standing or walking, and vice versa. - Warm Bath: Taking a warm bath can help relax the muscles and reduce the intensity of the contractions.
