I just hit 30 weeks today!! I'm due May 28th with my first little boy and I just started feeling braxton hicks tonight. Just wondering when everyone else began feeling them and what gender the baby was.
I am 34wks and having a boy, but I haven't had any braxton hicks yet. I heard it is your body preparing, I kind of wish I knew a little bit what labor was gonna be like and I hope my body is still preparing even when I'm not getting them. Goos luck to you mama, hang in there. Your precious will be here soon!
That's odd. I've never heard of braxton hicks coming and going so frequently. I read up on them and that doesn't sound normal although you are having twins but your still so early. Have you talked to your doctor about them? If not I think you should.
Are braxton hicks more pressure or pain? Do you feel them more in your back or pelvic area? If you can feel them in one or the other is it any indication of wether you'll have back labor pains or pelvic labor pains?Sorry, I know my questions don't have to do with the original post but I've been wondering these things and it looks like the mommies in this post know what they're talking about.
Something happened with the website forgetting what email i used so I had to create a new account. I had to change my username slightly but i'm still Angel's mommy!!! lol
They may feel different for many women but it's generally a tightening of the lower abdomen. They typically last about an hour at most and unlike labor contractions do not get worse with time, instead they ease up and go away shortly.
@mommys1stbundle ... lol they are more like pressure to me.. ur belly just tightens up & feels really hard.. and it doesn't determine wether u'll have back or pelvic labor.. for that you'll just have to find out on ur own
