Contractions after multiple pregnancies

Traci

Question for those of you who are on your second, third or more pregnancy. Have your Braxton-Hicks increased in intensity with every pregnancy? I know they can start earlier but wondering if they get more painful as well. I started BH with my second around 25w and were only tightening (no pain). This time around, they started 16w and now I can barely breathe through them and having more pressure/cramps associated with them. 29w now. Ive had 2 unmedicated births so know the feeling of actual labor and they don’t feel like that but are definitely more than just a tightening. Anyone else experiencing the same?
