Has anyone started Braxton hicks?

Question

My doctor said I might start experiencing some and sure enough, they have been happening a lot on/off the last few days. They freak me out! How will you know the difference between Braxton hicks and real contractions? Obviously, I'm sure real contractions will hurt a lot more.

Answer

Yes mine have started... Like 10 weeks ago lol :/ but contractions hurt wayyy more. Id describe them as the worst period cramp ever x 10

Answer

They shouldn't really hurt they just feel like tightening and come at random times if they're regular then i would be concerned. When u know you know

Answer

I've had them since 20weeks, I'm now in my 29th week

Answer

I've been having them everyday for a week now, I'm 31 weeks, I'm nervous because they get strong sometimes, I've never experienced my water breaking on its own and having contractions during my first pregnancy so this time I am unsure what to expect

Answer

I've started having them. I'm at 28 weeks now.

Answer

Make sure you drink lots of water! It helps with the Braxton Hicks

Answer

I've had them since first tri. I get a LOT of them. Doc says its just normal for me. Happened with my first baby too. They shouldn't hurt, if they do, lay down and see if they subside. If they continue to hurt, call doc.

Answer

I always start mine in the 2nd trimester. I feel like I have them forever. They can be uncomfortable, but not really painful. Labor contractions get increasingly stronger and more regular. For me, you just know when they are real, cause they hurt like heck. You have to stop doing what you're doing to focus on the contraction. Don't feel bad about contacting your provider to get advice, though. But when you're in labor, you'll know. Trust me. Good luck.

Answer

Oh yeah, everyday!
