Braxton Hicks??

[Ab202]

Hi ladies,

Not sure if I'm asking too early about Braxton Hicks? I'm 19+4 today with my 1st baby. I get a tightening after sex, which I think I believe to be BH? According to what I've read on the internet anyway! (Damn Google!!)

I also feel sore and uncomfortable on and off at the moment, which becomes especially sore/painful if I need a wee or whatever.

Basically, when should I expect BH? And what do they feel like?

Thanks in advance!

The tightening you get will be cramps that are common after orgasm, these were actually at their worst for me in tri 1.. BH are pretend contractions you will get them close to your DD. I think I started getting them at around 36-38 weeks but it was 10 years ago! Please someone correct me if I'm awfully wrong x

I'm 24 weeks and haven't had BH. I do get that tightening - really bizarre! But I read somewhere it's just your stomach muscles, you just wouldn't usually be able to feel these if you weren't pregnant. Xxx
