Braxton hicks ???

Question

I am 23 weeks today with b/g twins. I have been feeling tightening in my tummy off and on.... But I don't think it is bh. This happens mostly during activity like walking. Even when strolling my stomach automatically tightens and gets super hard and a bit uncomfortable. It only eases off if I stop walking, so if I walk for 15 mins it happens the entire time Til I stop which is the reason why I don't think I its bh. Anyone have similar experience ? This is my first pregnancy.

Answer

So my question is, if I'm just laying around and feel tightness on one side and it kind of feels like a baby but only is tight for like a minute, is that the baby or braxton hicks?

Answer

It's just really bad Braxton Hicks, I had it with my last one really bad too. Same thing when I would go on walks they would get so bad I would have to stop every 5 minutes. My doctor said she's never seen anyone with such bad contractions for so long and not go into labor! Started around 18 weeks.

Answer

Wow I have the same thing and I thought surely not BH. I'm 26w and these just started last week when I've been on walks. Do walks typically bring them on? I had thought I read BH go away when you walk around??

Answer

With my first pregnancy I started have Braxton hicks at 16 weeks and I had them ALL the time. Every time I'd bend over or pick something more than a couple of pounds up. I could be sitting and then stand up and I'd have them.

Answer

I have this and it's Braxton hicks. They haven't been short for me they have always been the entire time I'm walking

Answer

It's normal... I'm 35 weeks tmrw with twins and I've been getting Braxton hicks off and on. Best bet it to not be so active & stay very hydrated. That's helps quite a bit! Hope this helps!
