Braxton Hicks?

Am I supposed to be practicing my breathing exercises during Braxton Hicks contractions? I get them a lot, I normally just kinda push through them, but it occurred to me, maybe I should stop overworking myself and start deep breathing a little bit. lol. What are your guys thoughts? I’m also thinking I’m not gonna do the epidural, because I’ve been hearing that it can cause paralysis, and I can’t afford that so deep breathing exercises would be good
