I'm Currently Feeling:  |  Braxton Hicks ?
I was just wondering what do they feel like? The past few days the lower part of my uterus gets very very very tight. But it doesn't happen fast, it slowly gets tighter and tighter and eventually just goes away. Are those Braxton Hicks? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have had something similar happen last week, my belly/uterus sort of hardened and it actually quite hurt! it hasn't happened again since though, i think it may have been braxton hicks. I read up somewhere that as long as there not regular they are ok just practice ones. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Not sure myself if I've experienced any BH or not. Don't really notice any tightening unless I'm doing a lot of walking |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It sounds like Braxton Hicks. I had them everyday from 24 weeks until I gave birth at 38 weeks! I've never known anyone to have them as often as I did and the only time they annoyed me was if I was trying to get to sleep at night as I couldn't sleep! |
