Normal?

Question

I'm 22 weeks pregnant with di/di boys & I'm having what I believe is Braxton hicks? My stomach feels tight and underneath my belly but it lasts for an hour and happens everyday. I told my doc but I was told its normal for twins and if it's rythmic to go to L&D. Is this normal to have one lasting that long? This is my 2nd pregnancy.

Answer

I'm 23w with di/di boys and have been having the same thing for a couple weeks. My ob checked me out and everything looked good. I would say as long as your doctor says you are good then you are probably fine. She suggested that I lay on my left side when it happens to try and relax my stomach. The most important thing is to listen to your body. Rest when you need to, carrying twins isn't easy!

Answer

Hi there I'm 36 weeks and have been having braxton hicks since about 30 weeks. I thought that one day they were so close together it was labour so went to the hospital, but they were not close enough together and the monitor showed all was well and that they were only braxton hicks.
The hospital won't do anything until your in pain, lost fluid, have headaches etc the real signs of labour. Good luck

Answer

Yeah she said the same for me as well. I have them everyday. With each pregnancy she said it's worse. She says if it continues she will put me on bedrest.

Answer

I'm having the same issue. My docs don't seen concerned since they're not rhythmic and not increasing in strength or constant.
