When does our friend Braxton Hick visit you the most?

[ASD123456]

After all the posts on BH I was just wondering when you suffer the most?

With me, it used to be worse when I need to have a pee but recently I get them in the middle of the night when I try and turn in bed. It's very annoying and hard to get to sleep whilst it feels like someones shoved a bowling ball inside your belly. I've also noticed they visit the evenings more than in the day time.

What have you girls noticed about your BH? Or have you not been hit by the BH monster?

Mine start as soona s i get in to bed. my LO is being a bit of a monkey at the moment, he is all sleep the entire day and has me paranoid and panicing that he has not moved,,, as soon as i get in to bed he starts kicking away and then the BH start, making sleep V.uncomfortable

I knew that there was something else I wanted to ask the MW this morning!

I don't think I've had any BH contractions yet. Does anyone know if it's possible to have them without being aware and also whether it makes any difference if you don't get them for later on....I mean if my uterus is not practicing, will it be more of a shock when labour starts?

If I've been walking around for a long time and in the early evening but probably just noticing them more as sitting. Don't really get many.

From what I've read it's quite common for people not to get them/ not feel them especially with 1st babies. It has no markings on your labour just means your lucky and don't get a sore belly

i posted about BH a few days ago (think it was on the emergency bunker) but someone replied saying that they knew they were having BH contractions becuase when they were on the monitor the "Toco" number was going up and down (whihc meant they were having them) ubt she didn't know she was.

I get BH mainly of a night and throught the night. SOmetimes throughout the day i think im getting them but it is normally the baby stretching but it feels similar to me.

Iv only started experiencing BH in the last week or so though.

My friend didn't know she was having them until she got hooked up to a machine which told them she was, she just thought it was the baby moving.

I get them when I'm more active (which isn't very often ).

Then there are times when I'm not sure wether it's BH or baby moving

I get them early in the morning and when I've been really active for a while such as walking to work (its only a 20 minute walk but still tends to set them off) and doing housework.
