What do I do???

[Jade89]

Ive been having braxton hicks contractions for a while now, and i'm sure it says somehwere that if you have 4 or more in hour, call your midwife...i'm sure ive had more than 4 in the past half an hour They arent really painful, just a tightening feeling quite low down like someone is squeezing a ball inside me! If that makes sence?

I think thats just in earlier pregnancy hun...i have braxton hicks all the time and i was told by MW it was normal towards the end of preganancy and depending on the person..in fact im having 1 now lol

 

[Jade89]

me 2 They seem to be coming fast but arent painful.

 

[cassi]

its perfectly normal its just you're body preparing ... i have them loads from about 36 weeks.

how are you jade?

 

[Jade89]

Still here lol

Braxton Hicks stopped after the last one I posted about, just a bit weary of how many I was having lol, I only ever get about 3 per night, last night I think I got that in half an hour.

I remember when I was frustrated about how a braxton hick contraction felt because i'd never felt one before, but now I wanna know how a real contraction feels coz I just can't imagine having one lol.

Oh well, only 16 Days til due date!

How do you know what an actual braxton hicks is and when do you start having them?

My tummy goes tight occasionaly but its not that noticeable tbh

 

[hev&madi]

i think thats a braxton hick

 

[Jade89]

My braxton hicks feel like something inside your belly is tightly getting squeezed, and my belly goes more round and hard like a basketball. They arent painful, just uncomfortable and weird! Mine happen at night.

 

[Jaidy]

Yeah I reckon I must of had them then, cos it only really happens to me at night and like you said its not painful just uncomfy!

Aww Jade, hang in there hun, it'll happen when bubs decides they are ready to come into the world, make the most of being able to sleep at night!!

your BH will get more strong and regular now. Its your bodys way of teasing you and getting you ready for the big day.
thats why loads of women have loads of false alarms around this time.

 

[cassi]

that is why i never wake alan up a) he wont be happy because my timing is while he is working night shifts.

b) he would just say whatever roll over then id get in a grump

Sleep? ha, whats that then?

SPD keeps me up most nights, it takes me about half an hour to turn over in bed because if i lie on one side too long my body starts to go numb, so i have to make about 6-8 little turns to get on to my other side which is really really painful for my pelvis and inner thighs.
