Summarize:

If your Braxton Hicks contractions are making you uncomfortable, moving will often make them go away. If you have been walking, taking some time to sit might also stop them. Getting a massage, taking a bath, or just taking some much-needed rest time can help soothe your contractions. Reading, listening to music, or napping can all be helpful. If you can sleep through your contractions, then they are probably not labor contractions. Braxton Hicks are a healthy exercise your uterus does to prepare for labor. They occur naturally, but some pregnant people find them to be triggered by particular activities. You might experience a Braxton Hicks after exercise or strenuous activity. Some are triggered by sex or orgasm. Some people experience Braxton Hicks when they are overtired or dehydrated. Learning your triggers can help you recognize a Braxton Hicks contraction when it comes. Braxton Hicks do not need to be prevented, but they can be a good reminder to drink water and get rest.
Take a walk. Relax. Know your triggers.
