Braxton hicks

[Slb24]

Hey everyone,

Pregnant with my 2nd baby. Been feeling BH for a while now (on and off). I Didn't really have them with my 1st.

They're definitely getting stronger though the further along I get. Is that normal?

Can you explain what your BH feel like and where you get them.

I've googled it but I want personal experiences.

I'm only asking as I get a lot of twinges/cramps/tightenings and just want to make sure these are BH that I'm feeling.

Thanks everyone xx

I think i've been having some already (got a couple around 16 weeks, mw wasn't concerned in the slightest..) and my stomach just goes rock solid for a little while.. I can feel the whole thing is tight and though it doesn't hurt it sometimes feels a little uncomfortable. I feel it most towards the top of my bump x
