Well I think I was having a serious case of braxton hicks yesterday, they hurt really bad. I think I am also dialated like a centimeter and I am only like 3 days away from being 6 months pregnant. What should I do?

i had them in my 6th month, and im high risk and all my doctor said to do was to drink lots of water, your probably dehydrated and to not do as much, just take it easy.

As far as braxton hicks, I started to feel them with my last pregnancy at 22 weeks and they gained in intensity. Right around the 6th-7th month they would last for long periods. As far as dilation, you need to consult with your ob as that is serious if true.

Braxton Hicks are just that....braxton hicks, but to be sure...call your doctor. Good Luck!

Braxton hicks don't dilate, labor contractions dilate you. If you're worried, talk to your doctor about premature labor concerns.
Braxton hicks will typically go away if you lay down and take it easy. If they don't go away, call your doctor.
In fact, I'd call your doctor anyway. Immediately. Just to rule things out.

I would check with your doctor/OB/midwife, whoever is taking care of you during your pregnancy. If you are already dilated (confirmed by your doc??) and only 6 months, they may need to look at bedrest or other options to make sure you don't go in to early labour.

How do you know how dialated you are? I would go to your midwife or doctor. Call them at the very least.
I had very strong BH contractions after 5 months, my baby was still born 2 weeks late... it doesn't mean anything in itself.

Contact your Obstetrician.! That sounds serious if you are dialated and only in your 2nd trimester! Are you HIGH RISK ? If not you may be ! Call Your OB NOW NOW NOW!!!!

Did the doctor tell you you are dialated?
Braxton hicks are usually only felt in the stomach... Labor contractions involve your back and legs and you cant talk during one. I'd consult with your doctor on what to do.
