| Braxton Hicks
Hi,
I was wondering if you can describe your experiences of BH please. My belly keeps going really hard in places. I've been feeling it for ages now and thought it was the baby moving assuming it was it's head since it was so hard. But I'm getting it more often now and it is getting a little uncomfortable not painful just uncomfortable. It goes rock hard and lasts for maybe a minute of so.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Sounds like BH to me. I have a similar experience, and sometimes my baby's movement triggers the BH because I will feel her move, and then my tummy will go hard and be uncomfortable for a minute or two and then subside. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Sounds like BH to me. Mine just keep getting stronger and more frequent. I'm hoping it means my labor will go quicker! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Same here...my tummy just gets really hard and really uncomfortable feeling...Sometimes it lasts for only about 20 seconds and sometimes it lasts for a minute or so. They are weird. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'd say they are BH as well...keep hydrated and maybe take a nice long warm shower. That usually help elivate mine! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've only had them once or twice but these days I can't tell whether it's LO's bum sticking out or what. It is quite uncomfortable and lasts about 30seconds/1 minute. |
