26 weeks and contractions!

I was doing laundry and putting clothes away and I got three contractions, a couple mins each and only a few mins apart. I'm sure it's just the braxton hicks but have any of you had contractions like this from being on your feet and working? I'm always on my feet and working hard at work so I'm a little concerned for future. Drinking water and laying down now.

Oh boy!! Energizer bunny!!! Kinda makes you nervous for those 2am feedings! LoL. Thanks for sharing. I sure hope the contractions ease up for you. Good luck

I just talked to a doctor at my clinic, she said that the moving around and being on your feet shouldn't bring on contractions... I'm highly doubting that considering I've been laying down and drinking water because dehydration can cause them, but every time I get up to pee or get more water, I have another contraction... She said more than 6 in an hour to go to the hospital, also leaking of fluids or bleeding or baby stops moving all require a trip to the ER as well. Not that my little boy would ever stop moving, he's like the energizer bunny in there!

Yes! I'm 26 weeks also & wandering if maybe it was something I ate? But now thinking probably BH contractions. I wasn't sure when they were supposed to begin. I'm always on my feet also but noticed after resting I did feel better.
