When did you start feeling braxton contractions?

Question

This is my first time being pregnant and I seriously have only felt one, maybe two Braxton contractions. I am  33 weeks right now. Is this not normal? I feel like I should be feeling more of them.

Answer

My husband and I are expecting our second.
We haven't had any with our second and we never had any with our first and he was born at 41 weeks 3 days.
It's not necessary to have Braxton Hicks in pregnancy at all. 
Just some women do and some women don't.
Hope that makes you feel better!. :).

Answer

My first pregnancy I didn’t feel them at all never did. I got induced at 37 weeks with no Braxton Hicks or contractions

Answer

Never had any with my first but this is my second, I've had Braxton Hicks since 30 weeks, and even had real contractions

Answer

I had them beginning around 25ish weeks with my first. This is my second pregnancy and they maybe started a week or two sooner this time. Mine are intense and sometimes I have them all day every day then sometimes hardly anything for almost a week. Your body knows what it needs to do to prepare so trust it ☺️

Answer

Whether you notice them or not your uterus is doing them. If they are not painful that's a good thing, if they are you probably need more water, protein, or rest. This is baby 4, pregnancy 5. Some I've had them as early as 12 weeks others I haven't noticed them at all. I've even had a midwife feeling my belly comment that I was having one and not feeling it. It's simply a tightening of your uterine muscles. I mostly notice them after sex, especially after an orgasm.

Answer

first baby didn't have any, 2nd baby only had them the last 2weeks I was pregnant 3rd and 4th baby didn't have any, and this time Ive been having them since 15weeks.

Answer

They're actually not that common in first pregnancies. With my first I think I only felt 3 total, 2 on one day after eating Mexican food and then 1 some time later. With my second I got them more and this time I get them a lot

Answer

I didn’t feel them during my first pregnancy. I could only notice my belly getting tight. With my second I had painful braxton during the last month. ALL MONTH LONG! Now expecting my third (32 weeks) and nothing so far.

Answer

My first pregnancy I didn’t feel them at all. I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and didn’t start getting them until 32 weeks.

Answer

I started feeling then a few weeks ago (I’m 33w+3d now). At first I thought it was just baby getting into a weird position but as I was reading about them, they sounded more like Braxton Hicks. Not painful or uncomfortable for me *yet*, just feels kind of odd and my stomach will be hard for a moment.
