After going to hospital yesterday with tightening of the top of my tummy which was maybe more uncomfortable than painful (?) I have been advised that these are braxton hicks. I have been getting these since about 24 wk and i'm currently 33 weeks. Although these are normal and appear to be happening more often now does anyone have any experience of these and baby's birth? People that experienced them did you find that they helped the birth as they had prepared your uterus etc or did they have no impact at all.
I'm worrying that if I am finding these uncomfortable now how am I going to find the birth ?!!
