Braxton Hicks
What exactly do they feel like? I keep getting these cramps in my abdomen that makes everything feel tight in my stomach and part of my back... Idk if I'm just having weird cramps or the infamous Braxton Hicks.
I am 36weeks pregnant. And when i get braxton hicks they are a bit painful. My doctor also told me they would be.she said those are parctice contractions lol... I can tolerate the pain ofcourse but most likely that is what ypur feeling...everyones experience is different. Good luck hun!
Yeah those are Braxton hicks! Ugh isn't pregnancy a blast!! Lol
I would describe it as more uncomfortable than painful. It's just very weird.
Braxton hicks shouldn't be painful but it is when your stomach muscles tighten for a min or so, then release.. most likely what you are feeling, they can start to get pretty uncomfortable when baby starts to get big and your stomach tightens around them, but they shouldnt hurt..
