Braxton hicks?

Question

I hear a lot of people complaining about them around this time in the third trimester..... & honestly I don't feel any discomfort or anything along the lines that feel like contractions???? Can anyone tell me what they feel like? Or if it's normal not to feel any pain with them?

Answer

You don't always feel them, especially with a first pregnancy. I'm on baby #4, and they have all been different. Usually they just feel like someone is hugging my belly, not painful at all. I wouldn't have known with my 1st but I was hooked up to NST and they told me I was having them.
I didn't have but a couple with my second. My 3rd baby, I could feel them when I placed my hand on belly sometimes, it would get really tight and feel like someone giving a hug from behind.
However, some others say they can become kind of uncomfortable and even
Slightly painful.
My mom says her BH hurt worse then her labor. That's had her water not broke, she wouldn't have known she was in labor

Answer

You'll definitely know when you have them. But like most people have said, some get them earlier and some get them later. I'm 28+5 weeks and I've had them for a few weeks now. Your belly well get super tight and hard. It's not painful though, just a little uncomfortable. Don't be worried!!

Answer

How far along are you? Gotta remember everyone's pregnancy is different. Some get them as early as 26 weeks ,some at 35 weeks. I'm 31 weeks and haven't gotten them yet so I can't even tell you how they feel lol
