So it's been awhile since my last baby and I don't remember getting BH at all but I'm 30 weeks and have what I can only explain as the feeling of a tens machine or a stich without the pain at the top of my bump, could it be BH or maybe as baby is breech nerve or something? Literally daily it happens x

@Avearage I had Braxton Hicks for the last 8 weeks of my first pregnancy (started at 34 weeks)

Maybe give your midwife a call if they are causing discomfort or you’re concerned. Sorry I’m not much help, hopefully someone with more experience in this department will come along shortly Grin

@Avearage I'm getting the same, it's at the top of my bump but only on the left side. It comes on a daily basis, maybe 4 or 5 times a day and lasts maybe one minute, sometimes less. I asked my midwife and she said it was heartburn or Indigestion, which I know it's not.

@Lilice yes mines right side tho, definitely not heart burn either, looking up BH most described as tightnings but this isn't its just there 😂

@Avearage I looked it up too and most websites say with BH it's your whole bump that feels tight, which isn't what I'm feeling. Its so odd. I really wonder what it is
