Pregnancy - Third Trimester

Jem · Sep 13th, 2008, 14:50 PM

I've had them with both pregnancies and I still can't get use to them. Like last night for example I'd get braxton hicks for say a minute and then it'd ease for a couple of mins and then they'd come back again. Pain in the bum as I was trying to get to sleep while it was happening! I get them loads and have done since about 22 weeks x

I dont even notice that they are happening, only way i realise is if i just happen to have my hand on my bump at the time and i feel my tummy tighten. Otherwise i would never know.

Urgh well mine still havent stopped getting really annoying my back kills too, Ryder i've been feeling sick for days now i just throw up all the time so...

I'm more bothered that i've felt baby lots (normally a very quiet baby) ha ha!! Its so weird most people are worried their LO doesnt move and i'm bothered i'v had too much!!

I've only realised over the past week or so that I've been getting them too.

Charlie - They are pretty much painless - sometimes a bit uncomfy at the most - and the best way I'd describe them is it feels a bit like baby's pushing it's back really hard out against the top/middle of my bump. It goes rock hard for a while then either I move or baby moves and the hardness subsides.

Blob - some days I get them one after another and they are really noticeable then other times I just notice an odd one. I've never timed them though.

I've never noticed them either! I guess there are times when bump feels harder.... Perhaps I have a lazy uterus!
