So good its not just me....i am afraid if I tell anyone they will think I am nuts seeing as I am only 18 weeks...if I walk too much I feel like he will wave at me with all of the pelvic pressure there is lol

It's completely normal. You have braxton hicks throughout your whole pregnancy, about every 20 minutes but you don't normally notice them till the end of the second trimester. Because you've been pregnant before, you'll recognise and realise what they are sooner. So it's all normal. :-)

I'm 26 weeks and had a few for the first time. This is our first baby so it scared the crap outta me

@momamar we are having a boy! We already have two chickies now so a boy was in demand. What about you?

What's a braxton hicks

Practice contractions, to prepare your body for labour but not strong enough for real labour. It's basically the tighten of the muscles of your uterus.

They are when your belly gets real tight...it doesnt hurt...just a tightening feeling that comes and goes
