  • When I have gas pains they are low and, don't tighten. And, braxton hick get really tight. Hopefully that helps. Braxton hicks hurt me wau worse than, gas pains.
  • How far along are you? And I agree with the previous post, it is normally a very tight feeling that if you press on your belly doesn't give. And the further you get, normally they can cause a lot of back pain. But I wouldn't worry about them too much unless they are really causing a lot of pain and don't give up after a few minutes. Plus, just keep an eye on how many you are getting in an hour time period, I think more than about 6 warrants a call to your doctor just to be sure. :)
  • Im 22wks/3dys n da pain lasts lik 30seconds but it doesn happn but a few times a day. Ig im so concernd cuz I didn xperience dis wit my son during my prgncy. Culd it b cuz I had a c-section n da tissues r stretchn?
  • Every baby and pregnancy is different, you are more likely to have Braxton Hicks if you are dehydrated and it may be that you notice them more this time because you have been pregnant before - similar to how they say you show earlier or feel baby move sooner if you've been pregnant before mainly because you know what you're looking for. :)
