Can Braxton Hicks make you sick???

I'm not even sure I'm getting braxton hicks to be perfectly honest. I have zero experience to be able to draw upon!!!!

This is my first and I am currently 32+3.

The only way I can describe how I felt before I threw up was that it was a bit like someone had pulled my top really tight around my middle expecially towards my lower rib cage which in turn made me feel a bit breathless. And then.....I threw up!!

This is the second time this has happened to me this week. The first was either Tuesday or Wednesday when the same kind of thing happened.

Afterwards I feel a bit yuk for about half an hour and then I feel pretty tired!!

Does anyone know whats going on??? Please tell me if you think I'm being daft!!

Thanks In Advance.

I had this as well when pregnant. At about the same point as well. Never did figure out if they were Braxton Hicks or not. But at least you're not alone.

Thanks Muser......you're right at least its just not me!!!

Just started to feel similar again and baby is moving too which is making me feel a bit more woozy than usual. I hope it doesn't happen again!!!

Ooh, you've just made something click in my head :) I am 29weeks with ds2 and have had random sickness for a few weeks now (ie some days I'm sick, some I'm not, some I'm sick lots, sorry, tmi) but the episodes ALWAYS coincide with a BH. I get the whole backache, tightening thing, I didn't see the connection until I read this thread so thank you ladies!
