Braxton Hicks - come tell me about them!

[pinkrangerstartstowaddle]

I have Been having what i think is BH, i am 29 + 3 with my second but i don't think i had any with ds!

I have a tighting across my tummy ( belly button level) but the last few day these have been slightly painful/uncomfatble and coupled with back ache at the same time! - even have felt sick when they are/have happened

is this normal??
I hope so as i went 14 days over with ds and had to be started off so im hoping that my body will do the right thing this time, but not to early of course!

anyone

Pink, yep, sounds like BH!

I didn't have any with my first baby, none at all but did with my second.

Have to say, first was 10 days overdue, second was 11

anyone else ?

Yup!!! Didn't have then at all with DS (first pregnancy) but have been having them really regularly with this pregnancy (am 34 wks). My tummy actually looks and feels like a really hard ball when they happen and can last for a couple of mins. I wouldn't say they are painful but definatelty uncomfortable and I catch my breath a bit when they happen. I was a bit worried as I've been getting as many as 5 or 6 in an hour not leading to anything though.

Who knows whether this little one will be late or early - sorry I can't help there

Only really had them this time round (number 4). I get them really quite badly when I've been overdoing it so do take care of yourself and if they are uncomfortable and painful (as mine have been) then make sure you sit down and have a rest. They should ease up. Good luck with the rest of your pg

thank you ladies, got a little worried as never had anything like that with ds!!
