Stronger Braxton Hicks?

Question

Anyone else get like stronger Braxton Hicks as they get further along? I’ve had a few here and there a couple back to back that start with a hard belly, period like cramps, and then it gets really uncomfortable and goes away. I never experienced contractions with my first just back labor which took all my focus on that pain. So any advice or insight would be great!

Answer

Yep! My first was a super fast, completely natural delivery. The contractions felt low, like where period cramps would be, and there was a definite build to a climax before tapering off. Braxton Hicks, while they’re definitely more intense this time around, is a consistent tight/crampy feeling the whole time.

Answer

I’m experiencing this right now! And same - my water broke and then had back labor with my first. Now I’m having regular Braxton Hicks and they’re getting crampy. Idk if this is the real thing or not?!
