Braxton hicks

shawn • Mom of 2. My family is everything.
What do they feel like? And what should I expect. I'm 27 weeks and I don't think I've felt them yet. Do they hurt? Did it just feel like gas? Is it bad if I don't get Braxton hicks? I have very painful round ligament pains,the get to the point it hurts to breath or move. Like today at work I had to get a chair because I thought I was going to be sick from the pain in my ribs and stomach. I'm a cashier so I only sit if I have too. Or on my break.
