When you start to feel contractions on your own, were they really short? Sometimes it feels like I’m getting a contraction for only for like 5 seconds. Not consistently either. My husband and I have been laying on the couch watching tv and I’ve been getting Braxton Hicks for a little while. But I got up and moved around and it hurt for a moment. And earlier when I was getting onto my son, I started hurting a bit. Thanks in advance! I was induced with my first baby and also an epidural. So didn’t feel many contractions with him. Same with Braxton Hicks.
