What Do Braxton Hicks Feel Like????

Question

How do you know if your getting them? I have no idea. Help 27 weeks 6 days

Answer

Typically your belly just gets really hard for a few seconds or so, and then goes back to normal.

Sometimes they can cause discomfort though.

They usually aren't at times intervals, and they go away with lots of water and rest.

If you have more than 5 in an hour, you should call your doc.

Answer

My Braxton Hicks in previous pregnancies used to hurt really bad. In hindsight, I was dehydrated. This time I'm very accustomed to drinking a gallon of water a day. I still get BH but they aren't painful at all. A previous commenter said it feels like baby is in s ball with a tight tummy and hard to breath deeply and I couldn't agree more.

Answer

Like your tummy is tightening. Drinking water and changing position helps relieve them.

Answer

Like bad gas. I thought I had to poop so I sat on the toilet and then realized it was my belly that was hurting and saw how right it was cramped then realized.

Answer

With my first I described to my doctor that it felt like the baby would curl up into a ball and made my tummy feel tight and a little hard to take a deep breath. She's the one who told me it was actually BH. At first it was mostly when I was active (walking or cleaning) but I notice it all the time with this one.
