26 weeks and getting braxton hicks when doing anything.

[Noyoucantwatchpeppapig]

I'm 26 weeks with dc2, for weeks I've been getting uncomfortable tight feelings when I do reasonably normal physically active things. For example walking up the stairs or uphill. They are not painful but are getting stronger and can get really unpleasant. They stop when I stop doing whatever caused it. I'm trying to sort house out to get it on the market so have been quite busy. Baby is moving a lot and can feel movement getting stronger. I felt like this with DD but it was much later, probably only the last month. I also have really achey legs and painful hips. Is anyone else feeling like this or am I overdoing it?

I get BH if I over do it which now days means walking too fast or too far.

It's not sore but just uncomfortable and stops when I sit down.

I'm just trying to take it easy and slow down a bit if it starts.

Re the achy hips - I get that at night - whatever side I sleep on I wake up with sore hips but generally it goes away during the day.

I'm 28 wks and get bh like you describe. Especially if I walk a bit too far. They can be fairly painful at times and quite uncomfortable but tend to settle down quickly once I sit down.

I get achy hips at night time too. Hence waking up several times a night to change position.

Glad to hear other people seem to be experiencing similar symptoms and it probably isn't anything to worry about. Only another 14 weeks to go .......
