Braxton Hicks??

Question

I’m 16 weeks as of today, on and off today I’ve been having a strong cramp that will come on, last a minute max and go away, it’s just been completely on and off today. Is that what a Braxton Hicks contraction is and can I get them this early? I never had them with my son so I have no clue 😂

Answer

I don’t think Braxton Hicks typically happens this time it sounds like round ligament pain and that can really really hurt!

Answer

I had this pretty intensely one day when I was 14+ weeks, pretty sure it was some intense round ligament pain from growth spurts, the next morning I had a small bump that I could no longer suck in. It’s a pretty common time for round ligament pain and it felt like cramps on and off all day especially when I moved/turned... anything

Answer

Braxton hicks can start really early, but most people don’t notice them until later in pregnancy. They don’t hurt. I would describe it as a tightening. Or maybe slight squeeze. It can be a little uncomfortable, but if you’re experiencing cramping with pain, I would call your provider.

Answer

Yes I get them all the time.

Answer

I didn’t think Braxton Hicks started until later...might ask your provider.
Not sure 🤷🏼‍♀️
