Super Strong Braxton Hicks

BabyHaines · Jan 21st, 2010, 14:50 PM

Oh girlies....

I have the strongest Braxton Hicks. It hurts low down and all round my back.
I am struggling to stand!!

Blimey. I have been getting them - but never had them like this before. I can't believe how strong they can be??

Does anyone know how long they are likely to last?? As I'm rather uncomfortable and when I usually get them, I don't feel them this much!! xxxx

are they really frequent? might not hurt to ring your M/W

I did wonder for a while, but I think they are just strong BH. It's just I've not had them like this before - my body is doing some serious prep work!!
I will keep an eye - if I notice any sort of pattern, I'll call MW like you say xx

Hmmm. Still have them, but no pattern that I've noticed, so am not concerned about it being anything else. This is gonna make for a fun nights sleep!! :P

I have them too after a sweep I got today, much stronger than before. But I can tell they're not labour contraction because they ease off when I walk around for a bit or go to the bathroom. But I'm happy they're there because they're helping effacing and softening the cervix before the big ones hit

I'm hoping they´ll pick up in strength and turn into the real thing soon

Ooooh, good luck with that

I have had them all night. Had to get up at midnight and have a bath to try and get comfortable xx
