Braxton hicks 23 weeks

4 replies

Hi all

I’ve been experiencing braxton hicks from around 18/19 weeks. They don’t hurt just my tummy tightening but they seem to happen quite often every evening.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

With my DS I didn’t feel any, I have had a section so don’t know if I’m reading into it.

Should I be concerned that I seem to be getting them every evening and quite a few?

TIA

Hi I'm 23 weeks and I have also been getting braxton hicks since about 15 weeks this is my 5th baby n I remember getting them quite a bit with my 3rd baby aswell, I've read on a few places that you can start getting them from early pregnancy so I haven't been worried about it.
What date are you due?

I had them throughout my pregnancy, day and night, felt like period pain. The hospital monitored me. I got fed up of going in all the time to be linked up to the machine, especially towards the end.
I’d probably mention it to your MW, put your mind at ease.

19th November thank you for this
Because of the section I think I may be over reading things

@Changingtides1234 I'm due the 20th so only a day apart. I had a section with my first didn't have any braxton hicks with him then didn't have any with my 2nd but then had them with my 3rd. If your concerned about it have a word with your midwife to put your mind at rest.
