braxton hicks?

Is everyone else starting to get more and more braxton hicks?  I feel like I get them quite alot!  Some of them take my breath away.  Not that they hurt, but it's more a tightening/pressure thing.  Must be my body practicing for the big day :)

I knew I had them before but I was reminded of how bad mine hurt when I started getting them again..sometimes they are not so bad but the ones Ive had lately have just really been painful

I don't remember getting them this often with my other pregnancies either.  My last one was almost ten years ago!

I've been having them for about a month now. Didn't know what they were at first, I just noticed the tightening, I thought it was the baby balling up or something. At my 26 week appt, I had one when my dr was examining me and she told me thats what the tightening feeling was. Turns out I have a short cervix and was off work on rest for two weeks. Cervix is still thin, but I am able to go back to work now. Have another appt in an hour!
