How many would you say is "too many?"

I've always started them early (20-21 weeks with Liam and 17 weeks with Lochy) and this time is no different as they started at 17 weeks again. But with the boys they always started out slowly--maybe a few a week. With Lila once they started I've been getting them every single day. I could have as few as 4 or as many as 2-3 dozen! They strike especially when I'm in the car and come every 5 minutes or so and it makes driving pretty uncomfortable. I have an appointment on Tuesday so I'm going to ask about it then but just wondering what you ladies thought as well.

Also, updated belly pics!

I had a ton more with Nora - guess its a girl thing. I had them all day long starting around 25 weeks or so.....they were never regular though even though they would happen like 5 min, then 12 min, then like 27 min, then back to 7 min....seemed like a lot but it wasn't a big deal.... and when I started getting checked they weren't doing a whole lot in the cervix department. I tended to have more if I was dehydrated.....take some water with you in the car - that might calm them down.

Good luck Jenn - keep us posted on what they say at your appt!

Could it be the positioning in terms of how you're sitting in the car or how the seat is positioned? I remember that with mine, certain positions made them occur more and also not drinking enough water.

I had a lot more BH's when i was in my car driving then anywhere else. They would always come and sometimes back to back. I also used to have a lot of them in general and then I was in preterm labor at 32 weeks. I had a lot less of them after that.
