-Christy`s Pregnancy-poll

I am 26 weeks and 1 day today. I have been experiencing quite a few braxton hicks contractions since week 20. Yesterday I started getting them one right on top of the other...4-5 in probably 30 minutes or so. I was just walking around the house doing dishes etc. I decided to lay down and they finally quit. I had been drinking plenty of water so I don`t think I was dehydrated. Now this morning I had a spell while I was sitting here at my desk at work where it felt like my blood pressure dropped. Symptoms were blurred vision, nausea, voices sounded far away, cold clammy sweat, etc. It passed in a few minutes but really scared me. I called my nurse but she hasn`t called back. My question.... is this normal? Do you think there is any relation to yesterday and this morning? If you have had any problems in this area please comment. Thanks! Sorry so long!

if you cant get a hold of the nurse in a situation like that you can also call your family birthng unit in the hospital and ask of of them.. your 26 weeks so they will either ask you to come in or give you details over the phone..

sounds like it couldve been either low blood pressure..low blood sugar or beginning of anemia.

I have braxton hicks the same way- all the time. With both pregnancies between 20 and 30 weeks I also have a wierd spell exactly like you had. I went to my midwife right after the first one- everything was fine. Same with the second. My midwife said it sounded like I triggered my vega nerve or something like that- blood pressure and heart rate drop, sweating, wierd hearing- all that. Hope it helps, and if you don`t feel baby move, obviously there`s a problem.

I didnt have any braxton hicks.. but i did however have the other symptoms.. maybe like 3 to 5 times throughout my pregnancy. i actually never asked my doctor about them. so i dont know if they were normal or not. eat a fruit..

The baxton hicks sound completely normal, atleast for me. I had braxton hicks everyday up until labor. The other symptoms don`t sound normal. I hope your nurse calls soon.
