braxton hicks

[laracomps]

OK, well I keep saying I haven't had any... But I think maybe I have had, and I just didn't realise...

My tummy just went all hard and a bit tingly with a bit of pressure in my bum. When I looked at it, it was all pointy at the point were she is lying (belly looked a bit like a cone).

Is this a braxton hicks, or is it just her trying to push her way out through my belly button? lol

yeah it sounds like BH's
I didn't notice them in my first pregnancy cos I think I mistook them for the baby turning around. They don't always hurt, mine don't

hehe, sounds like BH to me!
The cone thing made me laugh - my belly goes like that when i sit up and my muscles tense. It's funny! lol

hehe, oh well it looks like i've had them for weeks then!

Had it a few times today, and period like pains. Won't start the wishful thinking just yet - its my birthday tomorrow - the only day I don't want her to come

My muscles do that too babybee. Which makes me laugh even more, as I didn't think I had any stomach muscles!!

ooooo maybe i have had them then, mine havent been painful either, just tightenings really

thats what i get and ive had them for weeks and weeks!

however now something new has happened along with the tightening , sometimes when im lying down at night and i get one, i feel the tightening and then i can feel a pulse all across my bump , and every beat of the pulse it feels like my bump is literally being inflated like a step on a footpump with each heartbeat.....it lasts about a minute then relaxes off....its not painful but it does feel weird. I guess that must be the beginnings of BH increasing in intensity?
