Feeling Braxton-Hicks?

Question

I’m 37 weeks and I’m not sure what I’m suppose to feel. I keep seeing people posting about how they are feeling Braxton-Hicks or contractions but I’m not and worried this baby will never come lol

Answer

I get braxton hicks, but they are not at all painful. Just feels like my stomach is hard and tightened. The contractions during labour are like period pains, only a million times worse.

Answer

I don’t think I really feel them. I think what I feel them as - is as if baby is pushing in one specific spot because that makes other things tight. My NP at the OB’s office was measuring me and said I was having a BH, I didn’t even notice it.

Answer

My friend told me she never felt them and she had her little girl 2 weeks early. So I wouldn’t stress. Mine just feel like tightening, and sometimes I barely notice them unless I feel how hard my belly gets :)

Answer

I never felt any with my first!! This time around is different. I have them all day long

Answer

I didn’t feel em with my first . I get them all the time this time and most of the time they freaking hurt!! I feel tightening and sometimes with cramps

Answer

In all honesty.. you don't want them lol They really are a pain lol

Answer

They are just practice contractions, not everyone feels them. I’ve had mine since 20 weeks. My stomach just gets really hard and now in the third trimester is makes me breathless, so I know when I have them.

Answer

I MAYBE felt 1 or 2 BH’s during my whole 1st pregnancy, but this time I can get them multiple times a day. My stomach just tightens, doesn’t really hurt more uncomfortable.

Answer

I don’t feel them at all. Yesterday as my dr was checking me she told me I was having a contraction but I didn’t feel it at all.

Answer

Not everyone feels the experience of Braxton Hicks don't worry! :) Some can feel them early, some throughout, some in the 3rd trimester and then some don't feel them at all! :) I've been having them since 16 weeks, I'm now 34 weeks and 5 days.. my friend didn't even get them until she was 35 weeks!
