Is this the start of braxton hicks? Or something i should be worried about?

Answer

Braxton Hicks are when your uterus contracts. Preparation contractions they're called. To prepare for the real thing. The uterus tightens (you can feel a little discomfort) for on average 10-36 seconds. Some can experience them up to two minutes, though. I don't think that feeling sick and having got flashes are part of it...I know as your pregnancy progresses, they can get worse, as in discomfort. But everyone is different...

Thanks for the info ladies:)

Answer

I've been getting them since 18 weeks! I'm currently 31w6d and last week my BH turned into actual contractions. You shouldn't be worried unless they start at the top move to the bottom with passion on your back as well. BH should go away if you lay on your side for an hour or so

Answer

They can come as early as 10weeks. I'm been having them since about 16weeks. I try to stay hydrated and if I feel one I try to take deep breaths.

Mine aren't that long and I don't feel hot flashes or sick. I just have an uncomfortable tightening in my lower belly. I'm now 23weeks.

Answer

Don't be worried some people experience Braxton Hicks early some people don't. Your hormones are everywhere at the moment. My Braxton Hicks comes and goes I'm 32 weeks xx
