Braxton Hicks

[missac]

What do everyones feel like? I am never sure whether I am having them or not, I get a lot of pains throughout the day, they are generally all different from each other, some are shooting, others are burning, some are stabbing and others are aches!!! I also get tightenings but then think that is just Thomas moving! Anyone else have sich an array of niggles? Also had a nose bleed this morning bit odd as this is the first proper one I have had, my nose is generally bloody when I blow and has been since day 1 but this was a lot different!!!

I get a lot of pains & niggles in the bottom of my bump, I get a lot of back ache & stiffness, and I also get that tightening feeling - usually at the bottom of my bump......

I also get the feeling she is burrowing down and heading towards the light.......that feels like period pain mixed with pressure.

Oh the joys eh?

 

[missac]

that all sounds a lot like me!!!! I keep telling teej to head towards the light!!

 

[Emmylou]

I'm getting to the point where I want her out now.....not getting impatient just yet, just a bit uncomfortable

C's mum has told him this morning that he should massage me everyday to help with the niggles so I'm looking forward to that I sometimes massage my bump in a downwards direction in a hope to encourage her out

I'm getting te niggles and sharp paind above my pubic bone...M/W said that's lo starting to engage.

I'm getting impatient, I want to be able to walk properly again without being stared at!

I've been a bouncing on that ball,trying to encourage him down

With jaycee i had tightenings and pains from 30 weeks, this one was 28 weeks and they are stronger!
Oh the joys

 

[missac]

i still don't know whether the pains I get are braxton hicks or whether they are just your run of the mill pains!!

 

[Jayceesmumma]

If the pains are at the time of tightenings then they are BH. If not then just normal stretching and moving pains
