braxton hicks contractions on right side of uterus

Braxton hicks contractions. I first started getting them during or right after sex, exact "balling up on one side" I too thought it was my daughter and mentioned it to my OB, she told me it was definitely BH, now I'm.33 weeks and can obviously tell where my daughter is at, and still get the same sensation.

Yes, it's possible to get them just on one side. It's just one side of the uterus contracting instead of the whole thing.

Time them, Braxton hicks contractions will not be consistent and will not get closer together and stronger as real contractions will. Braxton hicks are normal around 19-20 weeks, just your body practicing!

I will feel my uterus tighten and when I lay flat I can see and feel a bulge a little smaller than the size of my fist in my lower abdomen usually on the right side. I started massaging them and found they will usually go away after. A Braxton Hicks contraction is defined by Taber's Medical dictionary as an intermittent, painless contraction that may occur every 10 to 20 minutes after the first trimester of pregnancy.

As my doc tells me, if there's no pain pay them no mind lol drink water put your feet up and or a bath and they should go away. Just our bodies way of practicing.

Can you have contractions only on one side, or even braxton hicks contractions

Hi ladies I was wondering what contractions felt like.

They are a light version to real labor contractions, and yes sometimes one side of the belly may get hard when you experience braxton hicks episodes. Try drinking more water and practice breathing exercises.

They are not believed to have any connection with dilating the cervix, but may have some effect on the softening of the cervix. However, as Braxton Hicks contractions become more intense closer to the time of delivery, the contractions are considered false labor, which can help in the dilation and effacement process. What triggers Braxton Hicks contractions?

I sometimes experience my baby balling up tightly in the lower left or right side of my stomach. It's a little painful and can be uncomfortable depending on how long she does it. Or is it even my baby balling up? Could it be something else? Please help...

Exoecially during or right after sex.. sometimes I wake up and in the middle of the night and it like that. Always on the right side. I just figurered it was her curling up in a ball? Im not co concerned about it, I'm due November 4th.

i guess my concern was i was having this pain every 5 min, it would last for 10-15 seconds, some of the pains brought tears to my eyes, i could not move. The pain would start off on the right side of groin up the right side of belly, then sometimes it would radiate to my back, then sometimes it would be on the left and right side and under my belly. I just never imagained that round ligament pain would feel like painful.

It ultimately comes down to how well your body responds to the warm up contractions (Braxton hicks) and your uterus goes into full blown contractions!

If they're painful then their not braxton hicks. I would go get checked out.

I had the same pain and called the on call. They told me instead of coming to hospital right away. Drink 32oz of water in 25 mins and then lay on either your left side or right side. Then if you feel 4 or more contractions in an hour to call them back.

this baby has been so active these past two days, that idk if he has even slept yet lol...so whats this hardness in my uterus?! is it just braxton hicks or contractions??!?!?!

Braxton hicks aren't bad. They are just your uterus practicing. Contractions are only bad if they are painful. Braxton hicks should not be painful. I got them regularly starting at 14 weeks.

Ever since I became pregnant I've had cramps, like pregnancy cramps, bad, they come and go but I'm not sure whether or not they are Braxton hicks or my uterus growing?! Lol any other mommies experience this or know what it is?? What do Braxton hicks contractions feel like?

ve never experienced Braxton hicks. Some women do experience Braxton hicks am hicks some dont. It is totally normal in both cases.

What do Braxton Hicks contractions feel like? Does it feel like period cramping down in your vaginal area?

I am 33 weeks and 4 days, and today while I was in Wal-Mart and on my way home I have a few sharp pains at the bottom of my stomach on the side.. what could this be? Thanks for the help!

Are you talking about braxton hicks? Braxton hicks will feel like a tightening of your uterus like a big cramp. If you are having more then 6 braxton hicks in an hour you should call your doctor. It is perfectly normal to have braxton hicks threw out your second and third trimester. Are the contractions painful? If you think your having real contractions and you can time then closer then 10 minutes apart and arnt yet 37 weeks you should go to the hospital.

How many weeks are you?

Im 11 weeks pg with my second and I swear I can already feel braxton hicks contractions, it's sometimes when Im sitting down for awhile or when I feel like I have to pee. It might not be braxton hicks, as it could be me just feeling my uterus pop out a little. But has anyone else felt these this early?

So for pretty much the last week like at least 4 times a day I just feel really strong pressure either on my right or left side of my abdomen. It doesn't hurt but it just feels like someones hand pushing down on me, from the inside. Im only about 19 weeks so I dont think the baby is big enough for this yet.. does anyone know whats going on?

Contractions CAN start at the top of the uterus right under your breasts. I've had them start there and at the bottom of my uterus. As well as the ones that wrap around your back and lower uterus.

Have u been having regular contractions?
