I'm Currently Feeling:  | Braxton Hicks - Did You Get Them?
Did anyone not experience Braxton Hicks contractions at all. I haven't had any yet and I was wondering if anyone didn't feel them until VERY late in their pregnancy?
Did you have Braxton Hicks at all?
If so, how far along were you when you experienced your first one? |

I got mine about 1-2 weeks before my baby was born. Looks like you are a few weeks away...so any time now! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I am starting to get them. Prolly get a total of 3-6 a week. Very intermittent right now. I had them very steady with my first child so expect them to get more often.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Braxton Hicks are mild sporadic contractions. My doctor always called them "practice contractions" because they arent true labor contractions. They arent very strong, you can feel your uterus tighten and relax and there is a mild discomfort with it...sort of like cramping.
I dont know if all women experience them though. I experienced them with both my pregnancies. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | My BH feel like massive tightening in the abdomen (without pain) that makes me breathless. Imagine the effects of a sit-up or abdominal crunch, without the strain on your neck or back or pain. It lasts 10 seconds or so, then goes away. Different than a lot of women, mine were fairly regular (every 4 minutes or so) toward the end of pregnancy.
Now, I'm getting 3-6 a week or so with no regularity. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've just started getting them today (30 weeks). They're incredibly uncomfortable and they make me need to wee a lot! |
