braxton hicks

[Toodles]

when did you start to feel them???? I swear I have about 4-6 a day...at least I think that is what they are. my stomach gets really tight, a little sore, and it lasts for a few minutes and slowly fades away. They drive me completely crazy!!!!!!!! I just don't remember having them this early with my daughter...but that was a long time ago and there are a lot of things I don't really remember LOL

I start very early as well. Usually with my three by the time I was at my 27th week I was starting early labour. So just keep an eye on it. You might not do a full term on this baby. So try to take it easy.

I didn't start to notice them untill I was 22wks but then they were alot more noticeable at around 30wks.

ETA - I remember reading up about them when I was pregnant and it said you get them all the way through pregnancy but you don't always notice them. So I think it just depends how good your pain receptors are.

I get them all the time. Each week that goes by they're stronger. Still not painful though.

It's completely normal. Your body is practicing for the real deal :) Don't worry unless you have 4 or more PER HOUR.

last night was awful. i didn't get any sleep, i was having these babies all night long and they were kinda painful. not unbearable....but definitely uncomfortable. there was a point in time where I felt pain in my vaginal area and that scared the crap out of me. it went away after about 30 minutes but the contractions kept on all night...and still this morning. I am trying to time them this morning so that when I call my dr. I have the info that i know they are going to ask me for. The baby is kicking a lot, which is very normal, but I just don't remember the braxton hicks being so frequent and so strong with past pregnancies. ugh!!!!!!!

I didn't get them that bad... I hope they settle down and you don't get them like this all the way through the last half. :(
