Braxton Hicks

[Violet]

Hi girls

When do u generally start feeling these? As of yet I don't think I've had any. When I'm sitting or lying down my tummy is always relatively soft unless I've just stuffed my dinner in it. When I'm standing up my tum is always hard. The only pressure type feeling I get is when LO stretches out.

Is it possible I'm just not having them?

i started getting mine around 30 weeks but they werent at all regular, maybe just twice in a week. im 39 weeks now and have been getting them very regularly for about 3 weeks now xxx

I only started noticing them when I was about 37 weeks like u I didn't think my belly was tightening at all until then xxx

I never had them at all with my first pregnancy which apparantly is quite normal. I've been getting them since 30 weeks with this one.

According to the monitor when I was in hospital I was having braxton hicks and they were surprised I'd never felt them! So I think I must be having them but just not feeling them haha! Not complaining though .

Yeah, apparently some women don't feel them. I don't think I've had any yet - and if I have I haven't felt them!!!

Ooh now that u said about after dtd it's been a while since we have, but thinking about it a couple of times I did get get some tightenings, it's just been long enough for me to forget

Thanks for your replies girls, I feel a bit more reassured now
