Braxton hicks??
Im a ftm at 29w3d and im just curious as to what braxton hicks contractions feel like? I don't know if I've had any yet but I wanna know what to feel for. Thanks :)
My tummy gets tighter than it normally is. It lasts about 15-20 seconds with a little cramping and then it goes away. I am 31 weeks and I get 3-5/day.
I'm 27 weeks and have BH mostly when I'm at work but I have them at home too and yes its more like pressure and tightness but they are just prepping us for the real thing.
PRESSURE!! Lol EVERYTIME I have one I have to pee right after!! They don't hurt but they are a bit uncomfortable.. I'm 29 weeks and I've been having then since 25 weeks.. If a little bit more pain is applied I think I can get thorough real contractions!!
I'm going on 37 weeks and I haven't had any Braxton hicks contractions.
Your tummy will start to tighten for up to 30 secs and they arent painful. N usually only get them 3 to 5 times a day. But the further along you are the more stronger they get and they happen more often.
With mine my entire stomach tightens becoming rock hard and I might have a slight cramp.
