Hi all I'm 35 weeks today and for the last few weeks I've been getting increasing amounts of what I think are Braxton hicks. I never had any in my first pregnancy, so don't have anything to compare it to. My stomach feels really uncomfortable, like there suddenly isn't enough room for the baby (if that makes sense?) and my belly goes really tight and hard. Sometimes it makes me feel like I need to wee as well which is strange.. It only lasts about a minute or so, and isn't painful - just uncomfortable. I have also been getting lots of dull period type aches in my lower tummy. Does this sound like Braxton hicks? I refuse to use dr google as it always comes back with something scary!
You wouldn't think it's my second baby but I never had any Braxton hicks with my first!
