Going through the same.. Only I am actually getting contractions I'll be 7 months on the 26th.. Just try to relax.. Bed rest is what they put me on.. Just try not to move so much.. And don't take baths! The baby can detach from your plascenta!

I'm 34 weeks, and have been having this consistently all day. Came in to labor and delivery, after I called the on call Dr. There is nothing coming up on the monitors. They're most likely Braxton Hicks. Are you hydrated, and have you been eating? Also try a warm bath or shower, and lie down
