is it usual to notice more Braxton HIcks with 2nd baby?

[deaconblue]

only felt a few in the last week with ds but am gettting several Braxton Hicks a day and am only 31 weeks. Bloomin uncomfortable trying to get on with normal life with rock hard bump

I think so ime - I felt them a lot more and they were more painful with second and third pregnancies than with the first.

yes - I think so. Am currently 37 weeks (tomorrow) with my second, and have had LOADS over the last 8 weeks or so. To be honest I hardly noticed them with my first.

same here, they are the weirdest sensation, can't really compare to anything else

i was getting mild ones from about 20 weeks this time (3rd pregnancy)

I think so. I had none with ds1, lots with ds2.
