Contractions?

Question

It’s 2am here and I think I just had my first Braxton Hicks contraction I’m not sure if it was just constipation or something just it felt very uncomfortable and felt crampy I’m 29 weeks should I be worried I’m not very informed about Braxton Hicks I just know their thing

Answer

Braxton hicks can be uncomfortable/painful. I'm 30 weeks and mine are. I usually lay on left side, get up and walk, drink water or try to ignore them. Its normal as long as it goes away.

Answer

Braxton Hicks are generally painless cramps it tightenings. I've been getting them for a few weeks, for me it feels like my stomach had gone tight, not painful but uncomfortable. Once I shift position or change activity they usually stop. They can be made worse by dehydration. They are nothing to worry about, they are essentially practice contractions for your uterus
