Have you experienced any braxton hicks?

Question

Answer

My Doctor is always asking me and I am legit not sure at all. My belly hasn’t hurt at all, only at work if I do the non stop bending for the patient.
But my belly doesn’t get tight. Or hurt. Or even cramps. I get a LOT of lower back pain. Which I can blame on my job or the pregnancy. So I’m just hoping my water breaks Bcz if not, I’m not sure I’ll know the difference 🧐🧐 even though I’m sure a contraction is different kind of bad. 
But as a first time mom... I really don’t know the difference! 😅😅😅

Answer

I never had them with my first. Only seldom at night while sleeping with my second. And now all the time with my third. I read somewhere that is common not to have them with your first pregnancy. Some women never experience them even with consecutive pregnancies.

Answer

I’ve been told that I have but I don’t know for sure. I have lower back pain sometimes and period like cramping sometimes but not whole stomach/abdomen tightening? My periods are horrible and I was on BC meds to prevent myself from having a cycle (when I was younger) because the pain was so bad! So 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Every pregnancy...they’re getting more frequent and intense the closer I get to due date !

Answer

Sometimes i feel like my belly tightens at the top but stays soft at the bottom...but i think this is baby sticking her bum out. But apart from that nothing. And i know i have them as i was hooked on a monitor a few weeks back for potential reduced growth *everything was fine* and the report said i had one contraction in about 30 minutes.....im very confused ha
