I was in the Mall and felt this shrap pain tightening on the right side of my tummy. OB said it was probably Braxton hicks. I'm almost 28 weeks. Tell me about your first Braxton Hicks experience and what you thought at the time.

This may seem like a silly question, but i had really bad pains across my bump this morning which have now disappeared. Was this BH? When are we supposed to get these? it seems really early as i'm only 24+2 And how do you know its BH?

Also I am 31wks pregnant and at my sono I had Monday the baby was already head Head and face reconstruction Head injury Head lice Indications of head injury Radial head ...

I'm 36wks and 6 days. My BH contraction have become more intense and more frequent, especially at night. I wake up every hour with one and they won't stop until I sit up. I'm ready for this to be the real thing!

This is my 3rd pregnancy, but I dont remember getting them this often so soon. It seems like today they have been coming back to back. Some stronger than others. So I'm wondering when to be concerned. I have an appointment on Thursday and I was going to mention it then.

They started around 6:30 this morning and have been mild but very close together. Called the Dr. and they said at this point they wouldn't do anything to stop me if I was really in labor. They seem to be staying about the same intensity, but tapering off a bit, so I don't think this is the real deal. Still, I'm not ready, so I'm trying to pack bags in between resting and drinking lots. I saw a ...

I am totally having them more this (4th) time around and they suck! Some take my breath away and sometimes I feel like I should call my midwife...cause I had the more than 4 in an hour. Just wanted to see if I was alone or not.

Well, im not sure what is going on and a lady asked this yesterday about lots and lots of pressure in the vagina area. Well when these extreme cramps happen, I drink lots of water then then cramps start to go away.. Is this braxton hicks?

ok get ready for a Rant as you all know am a bit of a nerd and i been looking in to this Braxton Hicks thing all the things i seen have been written by men, saying things like Braxton Hicks are just a small discomfort & Lying down on the left side can help ease the pain of contractions or just have a bath or watch your fav movie to take your mind off of it and not to worry...

Well, I have officially experience BH contractions. And it FREAKED me out. They didn't hurt at all, but they were really, really uncomfortable. It felt like my entire uterus/abdomen region was just getting SUPER tight. You could bounce a penny off my belly it was that tight. They only lasted for like 20 seconds, but they were happening like 5 an hour so I had to go into L and D so they ...

I am nearly 33 weeks pregnant with my first baby and have been having very regular braxton hicks contractions (6-10 + per hour) that seem to last longer than a couple of minutes. I read somewhere that if you have more than four an hour lasting longer than 2 mins each, that you should seek medical attention - what would you do??? They seem to be getting slightly more intense as the days go by, ...

BH are false contractions. you can feel your entire abdomen (well its the uterus actually) tighten up, and its mildly uncomfortable. trust me, you WILL know the difference between those and a real one. if you are around your due date, just watch the clock and see if the feeling comes back. i think mine started out about 10 or more mins apart, but they werent extremely painful at first. but ...

Then Sunday night whilst we were at a charity do i started getting quite painful pains and they were between 10-15 mins apart, but after a couple of hours it stopped! Last night i woke up having pains again, had a bad tummy (sorry tmi ) and ...

what do braxton hicks feel like? Im 30wks and i have a cold - one of the weird things thats happening is that my tummy keeps going rock solid, seemingly with no cause. It kinda rises from where my bump normally sits and then it feels like concrete - after 2 mins or so my tummy is back to its squidgy self. It doesnt exactly hurt - its more like my tummy feels really really tight. Is this a ...

I've only ever had one or 2 at about 20 weeks.... but at every scan from 16 weeks our baby has been head down, so i'm presuming she's planning on staying there as i'm now 27+ weeks and shes still head down! Are braxton hicks caused by baby lying transverse?? xx

As the title says, Ive been getting LOADS of braxton hicks today! Bubbs has been very active, and him moving in a certain way seems to trigger them off... they can be so uncomfy There doesnt seem to be any pattern to them or anything, just really annoying! Anyone know anything I can do to get rid of them? Ive drank lots of water today, and I dont need the loo, so apart from that I dunno ...
