is this Braxton hicks?

Question

I thought BH contractions were supposed to feel like tightening in your stomach but I am 36+5 and haven't felt any of that yet. The only thing I have felt is menstrual-like aches in my lower belly on occasion. Is that BH contractions or something else?

Answer

I didn't get my first BH until I was 36+6. Before then I didn't feel a thing. In my experience It felt like stomach tightening in combination with light menstrual cramps.

Answer

Mine are low and in my back- my ob said they're still considered BH because they're not consistent.

Answer

With my first I didn't have any BH...not all women feel them and each pregnancy is different. If you haven't had them just consider yourself lucky and know it's completely normal ☺☺☺☺
