Anyone experiencing Braxton hicks?

Question

I'm 24+4 and I've never experienced them, looked up how I'm feeling and spoke with a nurse she thinks they're Braxton hicks... anyone experiencing this? Can you tell me how it feels? I feel like my stomach is being electrocuted it keeps tensing and it's painful :/

Answer

24 weeks and I have them a lot, they are very painful for me though. They will keep me up at night, and leave me in tears. (I have a higher tolerance to pain.) My doctor said as long as I don't have blood or watery discharge, don't worry about coming in. He did put me on lightduty because of it though.

Answer

I'm 24 weeks and for me they sorta just feel like light period cramps/uterine tightening. It's not painful per se, but it's really uncomfortable. I cringe whenever it happens (usually once a day for a couple of minutes, sometimes not even)

Answer

Have them since 21 weeks now. My stomach hardens alot. Doc say as long as they are under 10 per day no problem at all.

More water doesnt help for me...

I have lot more than 1 and got checked... I would get checked if you habe more than 10 to 15 to make sure you are not dilated e.g.

Magnesium helps. And bestrest...

Answer

Yup 25 weeks and I'm having them it's like my stomach hardens and real tight and this is my first pregnancy where it had actually hurt but it is painful.

Answer

Sounds like braxton hicks. I either lay on my left side or I'll drink water. Walking does not help for me. If you have them, increase your water intake 8 ounces a day and they will go away. For example, I added 16 ounces to my diet on top of what water I was drinking already to get them to go away. Mine started at 19 weeks and now I barely have them :)

Answer

I have them for about two weeks now I am 25+1 weeks today my belly gets really hard and the pain is only in my belly and I have to breath really heavy.

Answer

I'm 23 weeks + 1 day and haven't had them yet 😔

Answer

For me one side of my abdomen usually tightens up/hardens for a few seconds.
