AbbyMN needs your Braxton Hicks comments...

Am just working on some stuff for the site and need to get some good quotes re' Braxton Hicks. Did you have them? If so, what was your experience of them? From how early on did you get them? What did they feel like? How did they compare with real contractions? How long did they last, their intensity, etc? Did they cause you problems and, if so, did you find a way of alleviating them? What would be your advice to a first time mum trying to work out the difference between BH and the real thing?

Your thoughts, as ever, will be much appreciated.

Never had them, or if I did didn't recognise them as BH .. never had a contraction either

'the difference between BH and the real thing?' erm, the real ones blardy hurt?

Got them first time round, more this time, bloody annoying and make me want to pee all the time. Bump goes rock hard but not painful.
