Probably not. You should discus this with your obstetrician (or other care provider). Braxton Hicks contractions are common, but usually later in pregnancy, and usually not more than 2 to 3 per hour. Dehydration and excessive activity can make your uterus contract more frequently; it is worthwhile to increase your water/fluid intake, and get off your feet and rest. But do not ignore these contractions--your cervix should probably be assessed and further management based on that assessment.

How many Braxton hicks contractions are normal?
4 or fewer per hour are acceptable. 5 or more call your doctor.
What are fake contractions called?
There are no "fake contractions," except when women pretend to be in labor. There is false labor, which is contractions (usually mild and irregular) which do not change the cervix. (Labor is defined as progressive change--dilation and effacement--of the cervix.) Braxton Hicks contractions are real contractions, but very irregular. They can occur any time after 32 weeks of pregnancy, and are usually no more than 2 to 3 an hour.

37 weeks and 4 days dilated to 1 and thinning cervix and also lost mucus plug could labor be near?
This doesn't nessecarily mean you will go into labor by the week is out, but it is near. Labor could be a few hours, days or even weeks away. Just be sure to start counting your contractions, and if contractions become more severe, and more regular, call your practitioner.
33 weeks pregnant with 2nd child bad braxton hicks they feel like labor baby is really low bin having pains for 10 weeks they feel like not being able too breath and move what are they?
They are braxton hicks. I am having the same thing, turns out I have not been drinking enough water. When you are dehydrated your body releases more of the hormone that aids in labor...thus more contractions. I would not worry unless they are less than 10 minutes apart for more than an hour...or if you have any bleeding or fluid or discharge that is not normal, those are signs of preterm labor.
How do you describe premature labor?
Premature labor is contractions that occur after 20 weeks and before 37 weeks during pregnancy. The baby is more likely to survive and be healthy if it remains in the uterus for the full term of the pregnancy.

Is it normal to have braxton-hicks contractions for 2 hours at a time about 2 to 5 minutes apart when your 32 weeks pregnant?
Yes!!! HOWEVER at 32 weeks they say that you should contact your OB (no matter what time it is) if you are having contraction every 6 min or less (regardless is they are always the same distance apart) or is you have more then 8 in an hour! Though more than likely all is well, it is alwaysbetter to be safe than sorry. Also try drinking 8 ounces of water (not soda or caffenated drinks, must be water) if that doesn't help try drinking another 8 ounces since being a little dehydrated can start contractions. If they stop on there own and you do not call the doctor after hours, be sure to inform your doctor the next day.
I am experiencing lower abdominal pressure almost like braxton hicks contractions i am also a little bloated Periods not due for two more weeks could i be pregnant?
You do not have noticeable Braxton Hicks contractions until you are in your 2nd and 3rd trimesters. But no you probably aren't pregnant. You cant tell 2 weeks before your missed period that you are pregnant without the help of a pregnancy test.
