Avatar f tn 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!

Avatar f tn ^^agreed but u can actually time braxton hicks my doctor told me if I get braxton hicks 3-5 minutes apart for a hour to come in I actually experience it Friday I was having braxton hicks all day but they were only 10 minutes apart exactly so she wasn't concerned but braxton hicks takes my breath away from the few contractions I've felt trust u will feel the difference lbvs
Avatar n tn I'm 31 weeks today and I have been feeling the Braxton Hicks contractions for a few weeks now, but a few nights ago, I woke up in horrible pain with the tightening on a Braxton Hicks contraction. Was this a real contraction? Is it tooearly for me to have real cintractions? Could my due date be sooner than expected? Idk what to expect for the pain of a real contraction because this is my first pregnancy. Baby has also been moving around alot lately.

Avatar n tn what does braxton hicks contractions feel like never felt them before and im 36 weeks...
Avatar f tn 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. Braxton hicks are just your body's way of preparing for labor and are absolutely nothing to worry about.

Avatar f tn I'm 33+1 and I'm trying to figure out if I'm having braxton hicks or contractions... I'm in a lot of pain on the right side of my tummy and in my lower back but it only happens every 10 minutes or so and the tightening last about 5 minutes or so. I know braxton hicks are not suppose to hurt or maybe they do? Scared of preterm labor but need to know if I should worry. It happened 3 times already.

Avatar f tn Braxton hicks contractions. But they dnt hurt and are not constinant. There practice contractions for ur uterius. You will start getting them soon. They dnt hurt. You might just feel your tummy tighten up. Usually if u move to a different position or walk they go away. The further along u get the more youll get them. But they shouldnt hurt.
