    Lol yes ma'am, those are bh contractions! I used to think it was the baby too, but definitely not... I'm 32 weeks and I've had them since I was about 14 wks

    It's bh contractions, only time to get concerned is if they stay for a long period of time and get to where they are 6 minutes apart. But I get them all the time

    I only feel mine in the lower, or upper, never the whole abdomen.

    I like the way the feel.

    BH and the real Contx feel the same at first. They'll come every few mins, may hurt and last 30 secs to 1.5 mins. Your abdomin will tighten inside and outside and you should be able to touch or poke your belly and feel the hardness.

    If your having them and don't know if their BH or the real thing.

    1) Time them (download a contraction counter on your phone) you need to know how long they last, how, long between them and how long you've been having them.

    2)Drink 16 ounces of water to eliminate the possibility that your dehydrated.

    3) Empty your blatter ... sometimes a full blatter can cause BH

    4) change positions... if your laying down, go for a walk. If your moving around, sit or lay down and relax.

    If you've done all of these things and your still getting contx on a regular and their 3 mins apart for an hour.... its time to head to the hospital.

    And don't forget to post it... lol
