Hi. I'm 36+3 weeks and curious to know whether i've been experiencing braxton hicks contractions. I heard that not everyone does but I experience so many strange new sensations in the last few weeks i'm trying to identify if any of them are BH!
The most frequent description i've heard is a tightening of the tummy but my bump is pretty tight already. So i'm looking for descriptions other than the tightening thing.
Here are my questions:-
Ok TMI coming up! Does BH feel like you suddenly need a big poo (bit painful like when contipated) but then goes away after about a minute? I get this sometimes but have been putting it down to baby moving.
How often a day do you get them?
What is baby doing when you have them? (Is baby moving round at the same time? Do they wake baby up? Is baby usually asleep when you experience BH?)
Thanks for your time :-)
