What exactly are Braxton Hicks. I have been having them for the last like four days. I have only had them really bad twice. I am 33 weeks pregnant. Is it true it means you are going to have your baby early? Is it true it thins you out so you can start dialating. (link)

Hi. Braxton Hicks are also known as practice contractions, you can usually start feeling them in the second or third trimester of the pregnancy.
They help the body prepare you for birth. There are some things that can trigger them (such as dehydration). Lying on the left side can help ease the pain and sometimes a slight change n movement can help ease the pain also, it may also help to go to the toilet as a full bladder may be the cause.
No this does not mean your baby will be premature, it is simply just preparing you.
